Case Study: Private Swiss Bank achieves improved identity monitoring and reduced risk with Delinea Secret Server

A Swiss Bank works with Delinea to improve identity monitoring, reduce risk, and gain greater confidence in their Identity Security posture

A Swiss private bank with more than 50 years’ history, CHF 20 billion in assets under management and over 400 staff (with a hybrid‑cloud environment and 150 private administrators) faced growing identity‑security challenges. Their legacy solution limited visibility across production, leaving them exposed to external breaches, credential misuse, excessive standing privileges and slow detection of anomalous activity.

The bank implemented Delinea Secret Server—centralizing admin passwords, enabling session management and recording, adding MFA and planning automated password rotation—achieving 100% IT adoption. The deployment enforced a least‑privilege model, automated password workflows, improved monitoring and auditability, reduced insider and credential risks, and helped meet DORA/FINMA expectations; next steps include Delinea Privilege Remote Access and Privilege Manager for endpoint control.
