Case Study: a Fortune 500 global retailer eliminates standing cloud access with Britive

a Fortune 500 global retailer eliminates 67K+ static privileges with Britive

The customer, a Fortune 500 global retailer, faced significant challenges in managing privileged access for its infrastructure DevOps team. Manual processes for granting and revoking access were slow, taking up to 72 hours and hindering productivity. Their existing tools only offered static permissions, which increased security risk and required large customization efforts to fit their multi-cloud environment. They turned to Britive for a cloud-agnostic privileged access management solution.

Britive implemented a solution based on a role-based access control (RBAC) framework to enforce just-in-time, time-bound privileged access. This automated the manual processes and provided greater visibility into permissions. The results were substantial: Britive eliminated over 67,000 static privileges, reduced onboarding time from 3 days to under 30 minutes, and enabled the secure expansion of the retailer's cloud footprint while adhering to the principle of least privilege.
