To help transform its approach to privileged access management (PAM), BELBİM engaged IBM Business Partner Bilgi Birikim Sistemleri (BBS) (link resides outside of ibm.com). BBS recommended that the organization deploy IBM Security® Verify Privilege Vault, a powerful PAM solution that is easy to implement and use.
“BBS have a long history of success with similar projects, making them the right choice of partner for us,” comments Nisanoğlu. “Their support team is highly skilled and always responsive. BBS was able to demonstrate why IBM Security Verify Privilege Vault was the ideal fit for our use case.”
With help from BBS, BELBİM rolled out the IBM solution quickly and efficiently. The organization now uses IBM Security Verify Privilege Vault for continuous discovery and end-to-end management of all service, application, administrator, and root accounts.
“Thanks to BBS, we were able to deploy IBM Security Verify Privilege Vault in just a couple of days,” says Nisanoğlu. “The IBM solution supports multiple connection types including web links, SSH, SecureCRT, and RDP, which allows us to comprehensively protect our environment. Today, 100 different users from inside BELBİM and more than 40 external companies have privileged accounts that we manage with IBM Security Verify Privilege Vault.”
Using IBM technology, BELBİM offers users secure access to business-critical applications such as its financial systems infrastructure and database. The organization takes advantage of built-in features to store privileged credentials in an encrypted, centralized password vault. Since the IBM solution monitors and records all privileged sessions, BELBİM has gained a full audit trail.
Nisanoğlu explains, “Using IBM Security Verify Privilege Vault, authenticated users can securely connect to any system without needing to know its admin password. We now have complete visibility of privileged accounts, with every keystroke they make logged by the IBM software.”
