CyberArk Privileged Access Migration

The problem

Critical banking middleware was still relying on a legacy Service Account Utility for privileged credentials. Migrating to CyberArk Privileged Account Security needed to happen with zero disruption to live deposit, credit card, and consumer-loan operations.

Approach

  • 01Led the end-to-end migration from SAU to CyberArk PAS across the affected banking middleware estate.
  • 02Secured REST and SOAP web services with OAuth 2.0 and Basic Authentication, depending on caller capability.
  • 03Migrated 5+ connection types — REST APIs, Kafka, JSR batches, database connectivity — onto the new privileged-credential model.
  • 04Coordinated with security and infrastructure teams to validate migration outcomes across critical banking services.

Outcome

  • Privileged credentials managed through CyberArk PAS across the middleware estate.
  • Zero disruption to live financial operations during cutover.
  • Standardised auth across REST, SOAP, Kafka, JSR, and database connection types.
