SSH Communications Security (SSH) has won a new deal from an Asian gaming giant for PrivX privileged access management (PAM) solution. The customer is famous for developing some of the most renowned franchises in the history of online gaming and will be a significant new lighthouse customer for PrivX in the Asia Pacific region.
The six-figure multiyear subscription contract was won together with Fujitsu Japan, a major Managed Service Provider (MSP) in the region.
Hybrid environment capabilities
The customer was looking for better and modern controls to protect their business-critical Intellectual Property (IP). PrivX PAM fulfilled three key requirements for them: ease of use, Windows domain password management, and migration to passwordless authentication. Prior to choosing PrivX, the customer was manually assigning privileged access, which took up a lot of time and resources and risked granting third-parties indiscriminate access to IP or production environments. The customer also wanted a PAM with strong access control automation capabilities and a solid workflow system for job approvals, and PrivX fulfilled these criteria.
The customer was aware of the risks associated with traditional password management. PrivX supports hybrid approach (vaults and journey to passwordless) which allows the customer to manage their legacy environments while migrating to Zero Trust. Additionally, the customer required integration with an existing, strong 2FA-based user authentication solution. PrivX's flexibility in supporting third-party integrations allowed them to successfully meet this requirement.
“We are pleased to further expand our strong presence in the Asian market”, states Rami Raulas, Interim CEO of SSH. “Fujitsu Japan is a major MSP using PrivX, and this new win achieved with them is a further testimony to the competitiveness and modernity of our solution. The unique hybrid functionality of PrivX enables the customer to take secrets and passwords under control and migrate to a future with passwordless and keyless, ephemeral access”, Raulas concludes.
