Background
A technology company, TechInnovate, uses Synopsys as a critical part of its software development security suite. They have a strict policy of maintaining a single administrator per account to ensure that administrative privileges are closely monitored and controlled, thereby reducing the risk of security vulnerabilities.
Challenge
With the growing number of team members and departments needing access to Synopsys, there’s a risk that new users could be mistakenly granted admin status either through human error or oversight. This could lead to potential security risks, including unauthorized changes and access.
Solution
TechInnovate integrates Botprise, a smart automation bot, into their user management process for the Synopsys platform. Whenever a new user is created with admin status, Botprise automatically checks the number of existing admins. If there is already an admin, Botprise immediately revokes the new user’s admin status and notifies IT security teams to review the action.
Implementation Story
When Jane Doe, an IT security manager at TechInnovate, adds a new project manager to the Synopsys platform, she mistakenly grants him admin rights. Within minutes, Botprise detects this discrepancy. It revokes the admin status from the new user and sends an alert to Jane and the security team.
Jane reviews the alert and realizes the mistake. She appreciates Botprise’s quick action, which prevented potential unauthorized access. The incident prompts a brief review session with her team to reinforce the importance of user role verification.

“Maintaining strict admin control is crucial for our security posture. With Botprise, we can automate our controls and react swiftly to any anomaly. It’s like having a vigilant guardian that never sleeps. This automation not only bolsters our security but also significantly reduces the workload on our IT team, allowing them to focus on more strategic tasks,” says Jane Doe, reflecting on the incident and the importance of having Botprise integrated into their system.
This scenario illustrates the effectiveness of Botprise in enforcing security policies and demonstrates its role in safeguarding sensitive environments by automating crucial processes.
