JYSK, a global retail chain specializing in household goods and furniture, sought to enhance its cybersecurity framework to address challenges in third-party software patching and user privilege management. To achieve this, JYSK implemented Heimdal’s Patch & Asset Management and Privileged Access Management solutions, resulting in significant improvements in operational efficiency and security compliance. JYSK has more than 3,000 stores in 50 countries around the world. 28 countries are operated directly by JYSK, while the remaining 22 countries are part of
the JYSK Franchise concept. The company have over 26500 employees worldwide.
Implementation of Heimdal Solutions:
JYSK leveraged Heimdal’s solution to automate the deployment of software patches across its global network, ensuring systems remained up-to-date without manual intervention.
The Heimdal’s PAM solution enabled JYSK to manage user privileges effectively, granting temporary access when necessary and ensuring users had only the permissions required for their roles. By removing default administrative rights and managing escalations through the PAM system, JYSK reduced the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches. The solution facilitated compliance with data protection standards by providing detailed logs and reports on privilege escalations and user activities.
By integrating Heimdal’s solutions, JYSK not only fortified its cybersecurity defenses but also achieved a more streamlined and efficient IT operations, demonstrating the effectiveness of proactive security measures in a global retail environment.
