Case Study: Globally Renowned University strengthens privileged access security with ARCON PAM

How ARCON Privileged Access Management helped a globally renowned university to attain the desired compliance level by providing a solution that would seamlessly monitor privileged access

Globally Renowned University, one of the oldest educational institutions in the Middle East, needed a stronger way to protect highly sensitive academic, financial, and personal data across its on-premises environment. Facing insider threat risks, unauthorized access concerns, and compliance pressures such as GDPR, the university turned to ARCON and its Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution to secure privileged users and critical systems.

ARCON implemented a centralized PAM platform with granular access controls, multifactor authentication, session monitoring, and password vaulting to manage and audit privileged activity across application, database, and network devices. The university gained least-privilege access, secure third-party access, automated privileged password rotation, and detailed audit trails with real-time video/text session capture, helping it meet compliance requirements and significantly improve visibility, accountability, and protection.
