Case Study: DZ BANK achieves Zero Trust security and improved privileged access management with CyberArk

DZ BANK Builds Zero Trust Security Strategy with CyberArk

DZ BANK, a central institution in Germany’s Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken cooperative network, faced rising cyber threats and a shift to cloud and remote work that exposed internal identities and increased regulatory scrutiny. The bank needed to move from perimeter-based defenses to a Zero Trust model and strengthen privileged access management to meet compliance, reduce risk and support digital transformation.

DZ BANK implemented CyberArk’s Identity Security Platform—Privileged Access Manager, Conjur Secrets Manager Enterprise, CyberArk Identity and Premium Support—integrating with its SIEM and existing IAM to protect on‑prem and hyperscale cloud environments. The deployment improved control and visibility over privileges, streamlined secrets management, accelerated cloud migration, helped satisfy auditors and reduced cyber risk while delivering operational efficiencies.
