Case Study: Federal Government achieves 25–49% increase in IT staff productivity with BeyondTrust PowerBroker

Federal Government - Customer Case Study

A federal government agency selected BeyondTrust’s PowerBroker for Windows to meet FISMA compliance and tighten endpoint control. The main challenge was eliminating local admin rights for users while still allowing privilege elevation only when needed.

Deploying PowerBroker removed local admin privileges and improved privileged-account reporting and security; the agency rated BeyondTrust’s privileged-account capabilities, reporting/analytics, security context and deployment options as very highly differentiated versus Dell/Quest and Centrify. IT staff productivity rose by 25–49%, the organization plans to integrate Unix/Linux into AD next, and—summarizing their experience—“PowerBroker dramatically decreased the need for admins to have to support users.”
