Investment Toward Improving Corporate Security
A bank’s greatest treasure is information. And in Switzerland this truth is held in particularly high regard. For this reason, compliance is a top priority for Zurichbased DZ PRIVATBANK (Schweiz) AG; to pursue this topic, the IT department started to look closely into identity management (IDM) some time ago – with the result of implementing a company-wide SAM Jupiter solution from Beta Systems in mid-2008.
This system allows for the central management of access rights and ensures that only those rights absolutely necessary for performing a specific task are assigned, leading to more reliable control and helping the bank to meet all requirements placed on user management.

“Considerations such as cost reduction or rationalization, which are normally the top priorities for any IT project, did not play a key role for our strategic product decision. We needed to invest in compliance, that was a given. But the key goal was to improve security and protect the company.” |

“A prominent advantage of SAM Jupiter is its open design: It allows us to integrate virtually everything into the identity management system, from Windows to the OS 400 environment and from standard software to custom-made applications.” |

“Now that we have the Beta Systems software, we are working on centralizing our entire rights allocation process, which includes automating and thus greatly accelerating our business processes.” |
