Elevating Cloud Security: Modernizing Privileged Access for a Leading Financial Services Provider
A prominent financial services organization needed a robust Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution to secure its digital assets, manage privileged credentials, control DevOps secrets, and oversee privileged sessions. They wanted a partner to deploy a cutting-edge, cloud-based PAM platform that would enhance security while streamlining operations and enforcing compliance.
Highlights
Challenge
Our client, a financial services provider offering insurance and retirement programs, required a scalable and secure solution to centralize privileged credential management, govern DevOps secrets, and maintain comprehensive oversight of privileged user sessions. A key motivator for this client was the need to align with stringent regulatory and insurance requirements while bolstering their overall security program with a modern, efficient, and cloud-native PAM approach.
Solutions
Initial PAM Solution Design & Cloud Deployment:Our engagement started with designing and implementing the CyberArk Privilege Cloud (CPC) PAM solution, CyberArk's advanced SaaS offering. This initial phase included seamless integration with the client's directory services and SIEM systems.
Foundational Account Onboarding:We executed a comprehensive sample account discovery and onboarding process to lay the groundwork for implementation of the Privileged Access Management (PAM) environment.
Strategic Production Onboarding & Compliance:In the project's second phase, our team focused on detailed use case analysis and configuration refinement. One critical priority was onboarding production privileged accounts to enforce insurance policy compliance and enhance overall security.
Outcomes
Streamlined Cloud PAM Deployment: We successfully implemented the CyberArk Privilege Cloud (CPC) solution, leveraging an efficient, script-driven deployment process that significantly expedited setup compared to traditional manual methods.
Comprehensive Design and Onboarding Roadmap: Our team developed robust design and architecture documentation for the new system. We also created a clear account onboarding roadmap to facilitate the long-term operationalization and continuous management of privileged accounts.
Enhanced Security Posture and Compliance: The implementation provides the client with a powerful, cloud-native PAM solution, enabling centralized management of privileged credentials and sessions, which directly contributes to enhanced security and compliance with critical insurance policies.
Our collaboration with this leading insurance and benefits provider underscores the critical role of advanced PAM solutions in today's digital economy. By deploying the CyberArk Privilege Cloud, we've empowered our client with a robust, scalable, and secure platform that meets their immediate operational and compliance needs while positioning them for long-term cyber resilience.
