Cyber-Ark - Enterprise Password Vault
Case Study - HSBC Trinkaus & Burkhardt, Germany
Which Cyber-Ark product was involved? Enterprise Password Vault
What specific driver(s) and pain(s) were involved?
- Secure Access to Mainframe Systems by managing and control access by developers to the Mainframe production systems.
- If a developer needs to install or configure applications in the product environment a password must be retrieved from the Vault first.
- Loss of credentials would give privileged access to the most important banking systems inside the enterprise.
- Reuse of simple passwords that endanger system security.
- Audit and logging in order to fulfill requirements by internal audit.
The Solution. Fully automated password management, use of OTP, exclusive passwords, ease of use and reduction of administrative efforts.
Why the customer chose Cyber-Ark. Even though HSBC’s group directive is to use eDMZ’s products, the German division of HSBC chose Cyber-Ark as a PIM solution. The user case of HSBC Trinkaus & Burkhardt could be fulfilled by eDMZ. Highly redundant setup that ensures business continuity based on a reliable server technology.
How Cyber-Ark eliminated the competition. Ease of use and administration, flexibility and numerous options in policy definitions, support of mainframe systems without touching the endpoints, delegation of duties and access control, strong auditing and logging functionality.
