挑战
The software development company was required by a large customer within the banking sector to control excessive administrative privileges across approximately 5,000 user endpoints. The bank's requirement came after an annual onsite audit identified a risk in relation to endpoint privileges. The software developer committed to a timeline of only three months to implement and deploy an effective and secure solution. The challenge was to find a solution that could control access privilege without disrupting the day-to-day work of its many users (endpoints).
关于客户
The customer is a global software development corporation delivering cloud-based and on-premise software solutions for clients in various industries, including financial services, manufacturing, law enforcement, aviation, and more. The company is based in Hoboken, NJ, and has over 6,000 employees. The company was required to control administrative privileges across approximately 5,000 user endpoints as part of a large customer's vendor management program within the banking sector.
解决方案
The software development company decided to install the BeyondTrust Endpoint Privileged Management (EPM) product. The company assessed five of the leading EPM offerings, including products from Ivanti, Thycotic, and CyberArk, but opted for BeyondTrust’s EPM solution due to its Quick Start policy, rapid deployment capabilities, ease-of-use and the fact that access privileges could be set at low, medium, and high flexibility levels. The company proceeded in planned phases, implementing the system in an initial pilot to developers in the U.K. The pilot deployment uncovered several potential issues the company was able to eliminate by tweaking its policies. This served them well as they continued rolling out to other groups around the world, with successful adoption across the board.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
