Case Study: HOLT CAT achieves stronger password security and reduced breach risk with LastPass

HOLT CAT chose LastPass to simplify their employee’s user experience

HOLT CAT, the authorized Caterpillar dealer serving 118 Texas counties with 3,500+ employees and more than 350 applications, faced widespread account compromises and poor password hygiene. Senior IT Security Manager Tony Ledbetter needed a seamless, user-friendly solution that supported SSO, monitored password health, and could scale across acquisitions—so he selected the LastPass password manager and enterprise services.

LastPass integrated with HOLT CAT’s Azure directory to enable SSO, password generation, save-and-autofill, Dark Web Monitoring, Families as a Benefit, and 100+ customizable admin policies (including break-glass super admin accounts). The vendor’s deployment was adopted organically through training and campaigns; HOLT CAT filled all 2,500 initial seats in year one, grew to 3,500 seats with 70% adoption in year two, and reports significantly reduced risk with no password leaks reported since implementation.
