COVER story
Deployment of Privileged Access Management( PAM)
To ensure the platform remains secure at all times, and to comply with complex cyberinsurance requirements, Autoleague realised it had to improve the way it was managing admin and user passwords.
“ We needed a way to separate admin logins from daily logins to reduce the likelihood of unauthorised access to the IT platform,” said Ian Melton, Head of Security and IT Operations, Autoleague.“ We also recognised that persistent passwords are regarded as a security risk and needed to be removed from use.”
After examining alternatives from a range of security vendors, a decision was made in 2022 to deploy BeyondTrust’ s Privileged Access Management platform. This has allowed Autoleague to adopt the concept of automatically rotating passwords which significantly improves security without being onerous for users.
In addition, Autoleague leverages the BeyondTrust solution to automatically vault, rotate and secure local admin account credentials, removing any need to deploy and manage LAPS for break-glass accounts( used, for example, to repair broken Domain trust relationships on roaming devices).
