Case Study: RWE Supply & Trading achieves reduced attack surface and centralized risk management with BeyondTrust

RWE Supply & Trading Secures Against User and Asset-Based Risks

RWE Supply & Trading, a leading European energy trading house, needed to reduce its attack surface while meeting strict budgetary and regulatory constraints. IT Security Architect Loucas Parikos aimed to remove risky administrative privileges, address widespread vulnerabilities, and gain control of privileged access—without disrupting user productivity or their Citrix VDI environment.

RWE deployed BeyondTrust’s PowerBroker for Windows, Retina CS, PowerBroker Password Safe and the BeyondInsight platform to eliminate local admin rights, centrally manage privileges, scan and prioritize vulnerabilities, and record privileged sessions. The integrated solution reduced helpdesk calls and risk exposure, improved vulnerability remediation and access auditing, and lowered total cost of ownership through centralized reporting and single‑vendor management.
