Case Study: State & Local Government achieves least-privilege control and improved security with BeyondTrust PowerBroker for Windows

State & Local Government - Customer Case Study

BeyondTrust worked with a state and local government agency that needed to reduce breach risk, meet compliance requirements, and tighten operational practices. The agency struggled with excessive local admin rights and managing ActiveX controls, and sought a privileged account management solution to remove unnecessary privileges while still allowing needed application elevation.

They deployed PowerBroker for Windows to enforce least privilege and control application installs. The agency reported differentiated capabilities across privileged account management, reporting and analytics, security context, low total cost of ownership, and flexible deployment. As a result they removed local admin rights for users, managed ActiveX installations, and plan to next focus on auditing and activity reporting.
