Case Study: Federal Government achieves 50–74% IT productivity gains and strengthened privileged access controls with BeyondTrust PowerBroker

Federal Government - Customer Case Study

A U.S. Federal Government agency needed to meet FISMA requirements and secure access to sensitive data across its environment. Key challenges included eliminating shared privileged credentials, removing local admin rights, automating privileged password cycling, and getting reliable logging, auditing and alerts for privileged activity and Active Directory changes.

The agency deployed BeyondTrust PowerBroker for Windows to automate password management, enforce least-privilege elevation, and provide centralized logging, auditing and AD-change alerts. The solution boosted IT staff productivity by 50–74%, was rated “very differentiated” against competitors (they evaluated CA), and the agency plans to expand auditing/reporting and consider additional BeyondTrust offerings.
