Case Study: University of Utah achieves just-in-time privileged access and improved visibility with BeyondTrust

Just-In-Time: Privileged Access Management Is the Key to a Secure Network

The University of Utah, a large research and teaching institution with 17 colleges, 32,000 students and an on‑campus hospital, faced a complex identity challenge: students, staff, faculty and contractors often hold multiple or changing roles, some with access to Protected Health Information, and privileged accounts were tracked manually or hidden—creating a major visibility and risk gap across the campus environment.

After a six‑month vendor review the university deployed BeyondTrust’s Password Safe and Privileged Remote Access with Just‑In‑Time PAM, using professional services for rapid rollout. Discovery produced a complete inventory within a week, and automated provisioning/deprovisioning, session visibility for thousands of vendors, and centralized audit data improved security, compliance and productivity while reducing privileged‑access risk.
