Case Study: USDA Forest Service achieves 25-49% IT productivity gains and tighter privileged access control with BeyondTrust PowerBroker

USDA Forest Service - Customer Case Study

The USDA Forest Service engaged BeyondTrust after research by TechValidate to address compliance and tighten operational practices. They purchased PowerBroker for Windows to meet FISMA requirements, remove local admin rights from users, and elevate privileges only when needed.

After evaluating vendors including CA, they deployed PowerBroker and rated its privileged account capabilities, reporting/analytics, security context, TCO, and deployment options as very differentiated. The deployment boosted IT staff productivity by 25–49%, and the agency plans to next focus on controlling privileged passwords.
