SECURITY onoike Transport has implemented

CyberArk as part of its strategy to incorporate cloud services and SaaS to improve operational efficiency and build resilience against cybersecurity threats .

With a headcount of approximately 24,000 , Konoike Transport is a logistics , transportation and outsourcing services company headquartered in Japan .

Having previously adopted a multi-layer security strategy , it still faced the challenge of unifying and protecting privileged access to its applications , servers and cloud services , which had been managed in a siloed way .

This approach impacted incident response times and , because of an overall lack of visibility , potentially exposed the company to internal and external threats . Passwords were also managed separately in individual systems , so failures to change passwords after individuals transferred departments or left the company meant further risk exposure .

To be able to discover , secure and manage all identities on a single platform , Konoike Transport implemented CyberArk Privileged Access Manager , a component of the CyberArk Identity Security Platform . With a unified view of all privileged accounts , it now has a clear insight into user access within a few clicks .

CyberArk is honoured to be chosen by Konoike Transport to centralise its privileged access management .

Besides better incident response time , with a log of all accounts , Konoike Transport can now conduct audits and meet compliance requirements such as the Sarbanes- Oxley Act more efficiently . Furthermore , CyberArk ’ s ability to enable cloudbased privileged access within a single architecture fits perfectly into Konoike Transport ’ s cloud-first strategy .

Masaya Sato , Deputy Executive General Manager , ICT Promotion Division and General Manager , Digital Transformation Promotion Department , Konoike Transport , said : “ With CyberArk , our security is significantly boosted . End-users now have secure access without sacrificing convenience and administrators can monitor multiple systems in an integrated manner , greatly reducing our attack surface .”

“ CyberArk is honoured to be chosen by Konoike Transport to centralise its privileged access management ,” said Mitsuro Kakizawa , Regional Director for Japan , CyberArk .

“ Threat actors seek out unsecured privileged accounts to enter an organisation ’ s IT environment . CyberArk enables the highest levels of control , management and security for Konoike Transport ’ s privileged identities , adding a critical protection layer to the company ’ s key assets and supporting its Digital Transformation journey .”
