Case Study: Federal Government achieves 10–24% IT staff productivity gains and stronger privileged-account security with BeyondTrust PowerBroker

Federal Government - Customer Case Study

A Federal Government agency selected BeyondTrust’s PowerBroker privileged account management to reduce breach risk, meet FISMA compliance and tighten operational controls. They deployed PowerBroker for Windows to secure and automate privileged password management (eliminating shared credentials), remove local admin rights with just-in-time elevation, and to log, audit and alert on privileged activity and Active Directory changes.

After evaluating other vendors including CA, the agency found BeyondTrust’s privileged account capabilities, reporting and analytics, security context, low total cost of ownership and flexible deployment highly differentiated. The deployment increased IT staff productivity by 10–24%; the agency plans additional privileged-password controls and would consider other BeyondTrust PAM solutions.
