RWE Supply & Trading Secures Against User and Asset-Based Risks

RWE Supply & Trading is a leading energy trading house and a key player in the European energy sector. The European energy sector is undergoing fundamental changes, with subsidized expansion of renewables causing margins and utilization of conventional power stations to decline, thereby requiring energy providers to reduce costs. But against this cost reduction, energy providers such as RWE Supply & Trading cannot sacrifice security. They chose BeyondTrust to overcome these challenges. They have implemented PowerBroker for Windows, Retina CS Enterprise Vulnerability Management and IT risk management platform. The results of implementing BeyondTrust were eliminated admin rights, enabling users to download only applications applicable to their responsibilities at RWE and managed privileged account access and passwords, with recording of sessions.

Security is not inherent. Secure environments do not just appear. And one insecurity can compromise otherwise secure systems. Security is designed and developed. Security is an intentional effort. Security is not an absolute. Nothing is completely secure. Risks come from everywhere: physical and online, internal and external, intentional and accidental. Security is a measurement of risk. How much risk are you willing to accept? How secure do you feel? Security is not static. A secure solution today may not be secure tomorrow. Effort must be taken to keep up with changes in technology and ensure that existing solutions do not become obsolete. Security is a path, not a destination.

The Trusted Data Security Solution for Cyber Recovery

whitePaper | December 30, 2022

The widespread adoption of cloud services and Software-as-aService (SaaS) applications has expanded the attack surface, making it more challenging to manage and secure data.
