Case Study: a world’s largest asset management firm strengthens compliance and reduces access risk with Centrify

One of the World’s Largest Asset Management Firms Turns to Centrify to Reduce Administrative Access Risk and Strengthen Compliance Posture

The client, one of the world's largest asset management firms, faced significant challenges with its manual, homegrown system for managing privileged access. These issues included delays in provisioning employee access, difficulty maintaining compliance, and inconsistent management of privileges across thousands of UNIX and cloud servers, which increased risk and operational overhead. To address this, the firm turned to Centrify Corporation for a privileged access management (PAM) solution.

Centrify implemented its Authentication, Audit and Monitoring, and Privilege Elevation services to centralize and automate access controls. This solution replaced manual processes, eliminated local identities, and provided just-in-time privilege access. As a result, the firm reduced provisioning time by nearly 50%, achieved consistency across its environment, and significantly strengthened its security and compliance posture, all while reducing the potential for downtime and the number of staff needed for access management.
