Besides gaining improved incidence response, the firm and its subsidiaries has reported increased productivity and user experience

Headquartered in Japan, DAIKYO is a real estate company with one of the highest cumulative supplies of condominiums in the country. Its Information Systems department supports more than 10,000 employees, including staff in seven subsidiaries.

On 15 Jan 2025, as part of a planned digital transformation journey, the firm has been revealed to have implemented a new identity security platform to manage privileged access across its hybrid cloud and legacy environments.

This is a migration from a limited perimeter-based security approach to a holistic strategy centered on identity security enforcing Zero Trust and revolving around the increased use of cloud services to improve user experience and operational efficiency.

Said the firm’s General Manager, Information Systems Department, Osamu Kobayashi: “… Automating privileged access to our servers and cloud services and streamlining our compliance audit processes… has enabled us to substantially reduce the time taken on manual IT tasks. The increased productivity and improved incident response allow our team to better focus on our growing business operations.”

The new identity security platform is of course a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Privileged Access Management solution that applies intelligent privilege controls and provisions secure access to company resources with vaulted credentials or Just-in-Time with zero standing privileges. Besides automating privileged credential rotation and session management for all identities, the  cloud-centric solution is said to eliminate manual administrative tasks and safeguard credentials in DAIKYO and its subsidiaries’ hybrid cloud environment.

Additionally, the privileged access management is managed within a single architecture, aligning with DAIKYO’s cloud-first strategy.

According to Mitsuro Kakizawa, Regional Director (Japan), CyberArk, the provider of the identity security platform, his organization is @pleased to support DAIKYO as it embarks on its cloud-focused digital transformation journey… by enabling the highest levels of security for its privileged identities” against an “increasingly challenging threat landscape.”
