Case Study: Columbia Bank achieves compliance by gaining Active Directory visibility with BeyondTrust

Columbia Bank Achieves Compliance by Gaining Visibility into Active Directory Changes

Columbia Bank, a Pacific Northwest community bank with more than 150 branches and $8.5B in assets, faced growing complexity as acquisitions and a larger admin base made privileged access and Active Directory/SQL changes hard to govern. Native Microsoft tools didn’t provide sufficient visibility into who changed what, when and why, creating compliance risk and forcing IT into time-consuming manual triage.

The bank implemented BeyondTrust PowerBroker Auditor for Active Directory and SQL plus PowerBroker Recovery to gain granular change visibility, alerting, clear reporting and rollback capability. The solution centralized audits, improved accountability and compliance, and cut time spent manually tracking critical changes by 50%.
