CyberArk Identity Security Platform Plays
Critical Role in Helping the University Modernize Its Identity and
Access Management Programs
CyberArk (NASDAQ: CYBR), the identity security company, today
announced that Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) has selected the
CyberArk Identity Security Platform to power its mission-critical
identity and access management modernization initiatives and
improve security for its more than 27,000 staff and students.
The top-performing modern university in Scotland, GCU has
campuses in the center of Glasgow and London and is well known for
its academic teaching and research programs, especially in the area
of healthcare. As colleges and universities around the world
continue to be a target for damaging cyberattacks, especially
ransomware attacks, there has been an intensifying focus on
protecting access to the applications and systems students and
staff rely on, while preventing against credential theft that could
put intellectual property and sensitive data at risk.
“In recent years GCU and others within the sector have
increasingly been the target of cyberattacks. These risks drove us
to completely reassess our approach to cybersecurity in general,
and identity and access management in particular,” said Tahir
Yousaf, IT director at GCU. “We needed to closely examine every
aspect of our security stack. We selected the CyberArk platform for
its well-established privileged access management and access
management capabilities, knowing it could offer additional identity
security capabilities as we mature and expand our security
programs.”
Centered on intelligent privilege controls, the CyberArk
Identity Security Platform secures human and machine identities and
flexibly automates the identity lifecycle – all with continuous
threat detection and prevention to enable Zero Trust and enforce
least privilege.
In addition to supporting ongoing audit and upcoming regulatory
requirements, and boosting productivity and securing privileged
access for its team of IT administrators, the CyberArk Identity
Security Platform - once implemented - will enable GCU to:
- Authenticate users with adaptive multi-factor
authentication
- Securely access and share student and staff application
passwords
- Secure web applications from threats originating on the
endpoint and prevent data exfiltration
- Provide greater insight into user risk and potential
threats
- Demonstrate compliance
- Improve user lifecycle management
- Continuously review and verify access
- Prevent credential theft and limit privilege escalation and
lateral movement
“According to our research, 89% of organizations indicated they
were targeted by at least one ransomware attack in the last 12
months,” said Matt Cohen, CEO, CyberArk. “And when you consider
high-value information universities generate, like research data,
combined with a varied set of users with various levels of access
and permissions, it’s no wonder higher education is a frequent
target. CyberArk is committed to our role as a long-term partner
and working closely with GCU to help the University construct a
comprehensive identity security program – mapped to protecting
against future threats.”
