Case Study: Leading Asia-Pacific Pension Fund achieves up to 80% operational efficiency gains and enhanced privileged access protection with CyberArk

Leading Asia-Pacific Region Pension Fund Transforms Operational Efficiency and Protection of Digital Assets with CyberArk

A leading Asia‑Pacific pension fund that manages retirement savings for hundreds of thousands of members undertook a cloud‑first, mobile‑first digital transformation that moved services in‑house and into a multi‑cloud environment. Rapid IT growth, stricter financial regulations and a need to modernize privileged access management drove a three‑year roadmap to improve identity governance, reduce operational friction and strengthen compliance while overcoming cultural resistance to new security practices.

The fund deployed CyberArk Privileged Access Manager (Self‑Hosted) and Conjur Secrets Manager Enterprise across its Azure and AWS environments in one month, building reusable PAM patterns and integrating secrets into its DevOps pipeline. The swift rollout enabled secure remote work during COVID, cut credential‑related platform builds from about 40 minutes to three, boosted operational efficiency by up to 80%, simplified audits and compliance, and reduced team overhead through a close vendor partnership and holistic PAM program.
