AOH Assists Financial Company in Achieving Consolidated IAM Solution Using Microsoft Azure

A reputable financial company was facing the challenge of managing multiple identity and access management (IAM) systems across various departments and banking applications. Their existing setup led to inefficiencies, security vulnerabilities, and increased overhead costs. To address these issues, the company engaged AOH for IAM implementation services.

Objectives

The primary objectives of the financial company were as follows:

 

  1. Single Sign-On (SSO): The client wanted to implement SSO to enable users to access multiple applications with a single set of credentials, enhancing user experience and productivity while reducing the risk of password-related security breaches.
  2. Onboarding and Off-boarding: The client aimed to streamline the user onboarding and off-boarding processes. They needed a solution that would allow efficient provisioning and de-provisioning of user accounts across all systems and applications.
  3. Custom Application Integration: The financial company relied on several custom-built banking applications. They required seamless integration of these applications with the new IAM solution, ensuring secure access controls and data protection.

Solution

To address the client's specific needs, AOH proposed a comprehensive solution encompassing custom development, application integration, and Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) using Microsoft Azure. The key components of the solution were as follows:

 

  1. Custom Development and Application Integration: AOH's team of experienced developers worked closely with the financial company's IT department to design and implement a centralized IAM platform. This platform was tailored to the unique requirements of the client's business processes and applications. The team ensured that all security best practices were adhered to during the development process.
  2. Identity Governance and Administration (IGA): AOH recognized the importance of maintaining a robust identity governance framework to ensure compliance, minimize security risks, and enable efficient user lifecycle management. They implemented an IGA solution that provided automated provisioning and de-provisioning of user accounts based on predefined roles and access policies.
  3. Microsoft Azure Integration: Leveraging the capabilities of Microsoft Azure, AOH seamlessly integrated the IAM platform with the client's existing cloud infrastructure. This integration facilitated secure authentication, authorization, and access control across all systems and applications.

Execution

The implementation process was conducted diligently, with AOH's experts closely collaborating with the financial company's IT team throughout the journey. The project was completed within the agreed-upon timeline and budget, ensuring minimal disruption to the client's operations.

 

By incorporating custom development, application integration, and IGA, AOH delivered a secure, efficient, and user-friendly platform that significantly improved the client's operational capabilities. This case study serves as a testament to AOH's commitment to providing innovative and tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of its clients in the financial sector.
