Case Study: James Madison University achieves reduced security risk and least-privilege control with BeyondTrust PowerBroker

James Madison University - Customer Case Study

James Madison University turned to BeyondTrust to reduce breach risk and tighten operational practices by deploying PowerBroker for Windows. The university removed local admin rights from users and now elevates privileges only when needed, using the solution to help meet HIPAA and PCI-DSS requirements.

BeyondTrust’s deployment delivered strong results: JMU rated privilege account capabilities, reporting and analytics, security context, low total cost of ownership, and flexible deployment options as differentiated from competitors. The university would consider additional BeyondTrust solutions and plans to focus next on auditing and activity reporting — “PowerBroker allows us to remove admin rights for users and mitigate the security risks associated with user actions,” said Kevin Conrow, Application Manager.
