EFG Holding Safeguards Company Secrets and Access with BeyondTrust PASM
"Hackers nowadays choose to log in rather than hack in. We decided to go to BeyondTrust to help us sort out this issue. It's about storing our secrets and managing our high privileged accounts. And we needed to safeguard technical secrets like sensitive passwords properly as well. This is where the BeyondTrust privileged access management solution came in."
—Osama M. Hijji, CISO, EFG Holding
"In most cases, a high privileged account by default can do anything. And that's not something you can control if you rely on the application that contains the account itself. But using [BeyondTrust] PAM, we can control what the high privileged accounts can and cannot do."
—Osama M. Hijji, CISO, EFG Holding
EFG Holding is a leading financial institution, with a universal bank in Egypt and a direct presence in eight countries across two continents. Its EFG Hermes vertical is the leading investment bank in MENA markets. The EFG team sought a solution to improve its overall identity and access security posture and turned to BeyondTrust to better manage high-privilege accounts, monitor privileged activities, and safeguard technical secrets.
Key outcomes:
Strengthened security for key technical assets, through the removal of hardcoded DevOps secrets and automated password rotation.
Improved privilege management, with monitoring for privileged sessions and control for privileged accounts.
Proactive protection against emerging threats, as attackers continue to log in rather than hack in.
