Case Study: State & Local Government achieves 25–49% IT productivity gains and removes local admin rights with BeyondTrust PowerBroker for Windows

State & Local Government - Customer Case Study

A state and local government agency needed to remove local admin rights from users while still allowing elevated privileges when necessary to perform tasks, and to address compliance requirements including SOX and HIPAA. They sought a solution that would secure endpoints, reduce risk from excessive privileges, and streamline access control.

They chose BeyondTrust PowerBroker for Windows, deploying privileged account management to revoke permanent admin rights and grant just-in-time elevations. After evaluating competitors (including Dell/Quest), the agency reported very differentiated capabilities for privilege control, reporting/analytics, security context, and flexible deployment, and a differentiated total cost of ownership—resulting in a 25–49% increase in IT staff productivity.
