Case Study: State & Local Government achieves 10–24% IT productivity gains and stronger privileged access security with BeyondTrust PowerBroker

State & Local Government - Customer Case Study

BeyondTrust worked with a state and local government customer that bought its PowerBroker privileged account management solution to reduce breach risk, meet compliance requirements, and tighten operational practices. The organization needed to secure and automate privileged password management (eliminating sharing), remove persistent local admin rights by elevating privileges only when needed, and consolidate credentials across UNIX, Linux and Mac systems.

The customer deployed PowerBroker Identity Services to address these needs and support HIPAA compliance, choosing BeyondTrust over alternatives such as Dell/Quest. The deployment increased IT staff productivity by 10–24%, prompted consideration of additional BeyondTrust PAM products, and—per the customer—saved time and money by using Active Directory groups to manage Linux accounts.
