Operational Impact
Instead of storing their privileged accounts in an unsecure location, the hospital has a highly secure repository for protecting these powerful 'keys.' The vault technology uses FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography with AES-256 encryption in accordance with PCI requirements. | |
The software empowered Boston Children’s Hospital to establish and streamline best practices for privileged user management. For example, the organization can quickly disable accounts for departing employees and enact a system to regularly change privileged passwords—a key tenet of any strong privileged identity management program. | |
The organization can now instantly provision accounts without cumbersome administrative tasks or resorting to weak policies such as issuing generic, shared passwords. | |
Quantitative Benefit
More than 75 members of the IT staff use the EPV to provision privileged identities. | |
