Identity and access federation implementation
Remote & secure business operation
Corporate service business with multiple divisions and network domains; service portals with over 85,000 users; and third-party cloud applications for some critical business functions
Challenge
- Users maintained multiple application logins and passwords
- Different applications enforced different password rules and did not always meet corporate standards
- Application access not disabled after employee departure – especially with third-party cloud applications
- Remote third-party cloud application access outside of secure corporate VPN tunnel
Solution
Implemented network single sign-on for critical business applications and third-party cloud applications
Results
- Simplified user experience with single network login access to critical business applications and third-party cloud applications
- Corporate password rules enforced for password strength and expiry
- Significant reduction in help desk and system admin requests for application access issues
- Application access reliably disabled upon employee departure for both internal and external applications
- Vastly improved remote security for cloud applications through corporate VPN tunnel
