Case Study: Global 500 Telecommunications Services Company achieves 50-74% IT productivity gains and stronger security and compliance with BeyondTrust PowerBroker privileged account management

Global 500 Telecommunications Services Company - Customer Case Study

A Global 500 telecommunications services company engaged BeyondTrust after purchasing its PowerBroker privileged account management (PAM) suite to reduce breach risk, meet multiple compliance mandates, tighten operational practices, secure sensitive data and lower total cost of ownership. The deployment secured and automated privileged password management (eliminating sharing), logged, audited and reported privileged activity, replaced sudo, consolidated credentials for UNIX/Linux/Mac systems and provided Active Directory change auditing and alerting.

The company deployed PowerBroker Password Safe, PowerBroker for Windows, PowerBroker Servers for Unix/Linux, PowerBroker Identity Services and PowerBroker Auditor to meet SOX, HIPAA, PCI‑DSS, FISMA and NERC requirements. After evaluating CyberArk, Dell/Quest, Oracle and Centrify, the customer rated BeyondTrust “very differentiated” for privileged account capabilities, reporting/analytics, security context, low TCO and flexible deployments, saw IT staff productivity increase by 50–74%, and plans further auditing/reporting work while considering additional BeyondTrust solutions.
