Telco puts security first as CyberArk wins Vodafone contract

Telco set to implement CyberArk to protect and manage its privileged accounts, identities and applications.

Security specialist firm CyberArk has announced that Vodafone has implemented CyberArk to protect and manage its privileged accounts, identities and applications.

Vodafone selected CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault and CyberArk Privileged Session Manager to help ensure that its privileged accounts are highly secure while enabling full management of privileged credentials based on security policy, and controlling and monitoring privileged user access across critical machines.

CyberArk, distributed across New Zealand by Connector Systems, was selected as part of a global program designed to ensure security solutions are implemented across Vodafone’s global networks.

The Privileged User Management Access (PUMA) program consists of a number of focus areas aimed at ensuring a consistent and cohesive approach to securing privileged accounts across the company.

“It’s exciting to be working with Vodafone during the initial stages of its new PUMA program,” says Nick Baglin, vice president of sales, EMEA, CyberArk.

“Vodafone is an extremely forward-thinking company and we’re delighted to help them proactively address the critical challenges around the security and management of privileged accounts.”

While not confirming exact dates, a spokesperson for Vodafone New Zealand confirmed the solutions will be implemented within the coming months.
