Challenge	The software development company was required by a large customer within the banking sector to control excessive administrative privileges across approximately 5,000 user endpoints. The bank's requirement came after an annual onsite audit identified a risk in relation to endpoint privileges. The software developer committed to a timeline of only three months to implement and deploy an effective and secure solution. The challenge was to find a solution that could control access privilege without disrupting the day-to-day work of its many users (endpoints). Read More
About Customer	The customer is a global software development corporation delivering cloud-based and on-premise software solutions for clients in various industries, including financial services, manufacturing, law enforcement, aviation, and more. The company is based in Hoboken, NJ, and has over 6,000 employees. The company was required to control administrative privileges across approximately 5,000 user endpoints as part of a large customer's vendor management program within the banking sector. Read More
Solution	The software development company decided to install the BeyondTrust Endpoint Privileged Management (EPM) product. The company assessed five of the leading EPM offerings, including products from Ivanti, Thycotic, and CyberArk, but opted for BeyondTrust’s EPM solution due to its Quick Start policy, rapid deployment capabilities, ease-of-use and the fact that access privileges could be set at low, medium, and high flexibility levels. The company proceeded in planned phases, implementing the system in an initial pilot to developers in the U.K. The pilot deployment uncovered several potential issues the company was able to eliminate by tweaking its policies. This served them well as they continued rolling out to other groups around the world, with successful adoption across the board. Read More Log in to view content
