挑战
With $21.4 billion in annual sales, AstraZeneca is one of the top five pharmaceutical and health care services providers in the world. The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive and regulated. In 2004, AstraZeneca invested $3.8 billion into new drug research and development, employing 11,900 people dedicated to this task. The company needed a secure and manageable way to collaborate internally and with external partners. Previously, AstraZeneca used an in-house secure collaborative application requiring a VPN client on each user’s system, which proved to be a high-management burden. Frequent help-desk calls and firewall adjustments were common issues. AstraZeneca needed a seamless, web-based solution with no setup overhead or firewall concerns.

解决方案
AstraZeneca chose CyberArk’s Sensitive Information Management solution after several internal pilots. The solution proved easy to deploy and maintain, requiring no code tweaks. CyberArk’s Vaulting Technology creates information 'safe havens' with layered security protection, including integrated firewall, authentication, access control, session and data encryption, content inspection, secure backup, and version control. End users need only a web browser to access the secure vaults, with information secured via HTTPS and specialized encryption. The solution supports various authentication methods, including public key infrastructure, RSA security, and Windows Domain authentication. Security managers can create specific access rights, limiting user and vault activity. AstraZeneca first deployed the solution within its drug development process, where it significantly sped up data and document exchange with business partners. The solution's version control mechanism prevents data corruption, proving extremely useful. AstraZeneca now uses the solution organization-wide, creating secure collaborative workgroups quickly and efficiently.
