Case Study: Global 500 Financial Services Company achieves centralized sudo replacement and SOX compliance reporting with BeyondTrust PowerBroker

Global 500 Financial Services Company - Customer Case Study

Global 500 financial services company (per TechValidate) purchased BeyondTrust PowerBroker to meet compliance requirements—specifically Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX)—and to improve control over privileged access. Their primary challenges were replacing sudo and ensuring privileged activities were logged, audited and reported.

They deployed PowerBroker Servers for Unix/Linux to centralize sudo management and policy enforcement, using tools like pbrun and pbsh for improved logging. After evaluating competitors such as Dell/Quest, the company rated BeyondTrust’s privilege-account capabilities, reporting and analytics, and flexible deployment options as differentiated. They plan to further expand auditing and reporting on privileged activity as their next project.
