A BeyondTrust Case Study
CH2M WG Idaho (CWI), a medium enterprise construction company, needed to reduce the risk of security breaches, lower total cost of ownership, and remove local admin rights while meeting HIPAA and FISMA requirements. Their primary challenges were eliminating persistent local admin privileges, providing just-in-time elevation, and auditing and alerting on changes in Active Directory.
They deployed BeyondTrust PowerBroker for Windows to enforce least privilege and enable AD auditing and alerts. The solution removed local admin rights, helped satisfy DOE security requirements, and increased IT staff productivity by 50–74%. CWI rated BeyondTrust’s privilege capabilities, reporting, security context, TCO and deployment flexibility as highly differentiated, evaluated Dell/Quest beforehand, and plans to address privileged password control next.
