Introduction

Imagine managing over 26.1 billion financial transactions in a single year while making sure every operation runs not only smoothly, but securely.

This was the daily reality for a leading financial infrastructure provider with over $300 million in annual revenue. Operating in a high-stakes environment where downtime and security breaches were not an option, the company needed infrastructure capable of handling immense demands. However, hidden vulnerabilities in their system were quietly threatening their operational stability.

Major Challenges with Security and Compliance

While processing billions of transactions, the company faced critical issues that put its infrastructure at risk.

‍They lacked compliance with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, had no system to track personal administrative access, and struggled with managing digital certificates.

These gaps left the company exposed to operational risks and potential data breaches, highlighting the urgent need for a comprehensive security overhaul.

Transformative Solutions with Segura®

The company turned to Segura® for a comprehensive solution tailored to their needs. Segura® provided a hardware platform with load balancing to ensure fault tolerance and availability. Personal administrative access was replaced with secure, impersonal privileged credentials, and a certificate management solution was seamlessly integrated into the PAM platform.

‍This transformation brought the structure, control, and visibility our customer urgently needed.

‍The deployment has provided a centralized view of SSH keys, credentials, and certificates, streamlined lifecycle management, and reduced the number of ghost SSH keys and unused credentials. Additionally, it has minimized application outages caused by certificate expirations, making the network more secure and reliable.

Conclusion

This financial institution’s experience with Segura® shows just how impactful proactive security measures can be.

By tackling vulnerabilities head-on and adopting advanced PAM solutions, they didn’t just secure their operations—they achieved compliance, resilience, and peace of mind.

In today’s fast-paced financial world, Segura® gave our customer the solid foundation they needed to stay ahead, maintain trust, and continue growing with confidence.
