Segura® integrated SSH across all devices and implemented second-factor authentication for local users. Privileged changes were automatically audited, with local passwords rotated in under 4 hours. This led to a 94.5% reduction in privilege abuse.

Introduction
In the fast-paced world of retail banking, seamless and secure operations are critical. One of the largest retail banks in Latin America, faced with a complex telecommunications network and a host of security challenges, turned to Segura® for a transformative solution. With over 5,000 branches and 8,000 network devices, the bank's existing infrastructure struggled to keep up with the demands for security and compliance. The bank needed a cutting-edge solution to address these issues and secure its operations.
Major Challenges with Security and Compliance
The bank’s telecommunications network was complex and extensive to serve its 13 million+ customers. Local admin users operated without periodic password rotation, leading to significant security vulnerabilities. The lack of robust monitoring meant that privileged configurations could be changed without proper auditing, exposing the network to potential malicious attacks. This situation left the bank non-compliant with PCI DSS and SOX standards, risking its business credibility.
Segura® to the Rescue
To tackle these challenges, the bank turned to Segura®. The solution was integrated across all devices through SSH, establishing a secure foundation. Second-factor authentication was implemented to enhance the security of local user access. Automated auditing of privileged changes was introduced, alerting the team to any deviations or misuse of credentials. Additionally, local passwords were set to rotate automatically within less than four hours, drastically reducing the risk of privilege abuse. This comprehensive approach led to a remarkable 94.5% reduction in privilege abuse, showcasing the effectiveness of Segura®'s integration.
Embracing the Future
The bank's journey with Segura® exemplifies how a strategic approach to security and compliance can yield substantial benefits. By addressing the vulnerabilities in its network, the bank not only fortified its security but also safeguarded its business credibility. The successful integration of Segura® has set a new standard for operational excellence in the banking sector, demonstrating the power of targeted technological solutions in overcoming complex security challenges. With Segura®, the bank has paved the way for a more secure and compliant future.
