Case Study: Macmillan Cancer Support secures privileged access and third-party accounts with Centrify

Macmillan Cancer Support Secures Admin, Third-party, and Service Account Access with Centrify

Macmillan Cancer Support, a major UK charity, faced significant security challenges related to its privileged access management. The organization had an excessive number of admin accounts, lacked multi-factor authentication, and struggled with securing third-party and service account access. They hired a new security team, led by Tim O’Neill, who prioritized finding a solution to automate management and control access to mitigate these risks.

The solution was implemented with Centrify's privileged access management (PAM) product. Centrify enabled the charity to vault credentials, automate password rotation, and provide secure, monitored, and limited access for third parties. The results included immediate security improvements, cost savings from eliminating VPN licenses, and streamlined account management. Centrify helped the organization gain control of its critical accounts, achieve compliance goals, and earn respect for the security team across the organization.
