Case Study: Atlantic Technological University achieves least-privilege endpoint security with Admin By Request

Atlantic Technological University - Customer Case Study

Atlantic Technological University, a multi-campus tertiary education institution, was challenged by the need to manage administrative access for its diverse user base across thousands of endpoints. Security concerns around constant admin privileges, compliance with regulations like GDPR, and supporting a mobile, hybrid workforce led them to seek a new solution. They turned to Admin By Request for its Privileged Access Management service to gain better visibility and control.

Admin By Request provided a solution with granular control features like Pre-Approval and Run as Admin, which eliminated the need for permanent admin rights. The results were significant: the university applied least privilege principles with precision, substantially reducing its attack surface and meeting compliance needs. Desktop-related support issues decreased, and the solution was crucial in their adoption of a zero-trust model. Admin By Request also enabled them to replace Microsoft LAPS and integrate with their existing Microsoft ecosystem.
