Case Study: City of Midlothian strengthens secure remote access with BeyondTrust

City of Midlothian secures remote access for 375 users with BeyondTrust

The City of Midlothian faced a significant challenge in securing remote access for its extensive municipal network, which served numerous departments and third-party vendors. Their previous methods, a basic VPN and an insecure VNC application, lacked security controls, session recording, and granular access limitations, creating a major vulnerability. To address this, the city partnered with BeyondTrust to implement its Privileged Remote Access solution.

By deploying BeyondTrust's solutions, including Privileged Remote Access, Remote Support, and Password Safe, the city automated and secured vendor and internal access. The results were transformative: BeyondTrust enabled granular control over access, automated credential injection and rotation, and provided session recording. This eliminated key attack vectors, saved the IT team countless administrative hours, and significantly improved the city's security posture, as evidenced by their avoidance of a widespread attack that compromised over 20 other nearby cities.
