Juni, a financial management platform for ecommerce businesses, faced challenges in managing employee identities and access permissions as the company grew. The manual processes were time-consuming and inefficient, especially as Juni was preparing to obtain industry certifications like PCI DSS. The company needed a centralized solution to streamline its Identity and Access Management (IAM) processes to support its rapid growth and maintain security standards.

Navan, a company that disrupted the travel and expense (T&E) space with its technology-forward platform, faced increasing identity-based attacks as it grew. The company collects sensitive data such as payment information and personal identifying information (PII), which made its in-house customer identity and access management (IAM) solution inadequate. As Navan expanded, the need for a robust identity management system became clear to protect against evolving threats and meet various certifications and compliance requirements. The company needed a centralized IAM solution to ensure a frictionless employee experience and maintain customer trust by keeping their information secure.

Intermex faced significant challenges due to its rapid growth and the resulting complexity in its IT infrastructure. The company had to manage a patchwork of platforms, homegrown applications, and acquired technologies, which led to inefficiencies and user frustration. The primary issue was the lack of a unified Identity strategy, with multiple Identity management tools and duplicative identities causing friction for end users. The IT team struggled with tool fatigue and the need to justify changes to the existing systems. The hiring of a new CISO, Daniel Hereford, presented an opportunity to address these challenges by consolidating the Identity management tools and streamlining the processes.

bunq, a rapidly growing digital bank, faced challenges in managing identity and access management due to its expanding user base and employee count. The manual identity and access management solutions were struggling to keep up with the growth, leading to inefficiencies and potential security risks. The company needed a scalable system that could handle access and authentication for its applications while ensuring compliance with security standards. The existing process of manually creating users in the LDAP system was time-consuming and prone to errors, taking about two hours per request. Additionally, the lack of an overarching MFA setup meant that enforcing MFA had to be done on a per-app basis, which was cumbersome and inconsistent.

Front faced challenges in improving IT efficiency and employee experience as they grew. The existing Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution required a patchwork of manual processes and homegrown scripts, which were inefficient and prone to errors. The onboarding process was disjointed, taking 30 to 60 minutes, and provisioning was a manual, multi-step process reliant on outdated Python scripts. The company needed a robust and flexible identity strategy to prepare for projected growth and enhance the entire identity lifecycle.

In the competitive video streaming industry, Bitmovin faced challenges with its manual onboarding and access management processes. As the company expanded its workforce globally, the need for efficient identity and access management became crucial. The manual processes were time-consuming, taking up to a week to onboard new employees, and the cumbersome access management led to frequent password resets and inefficiencies. Bitmovin needed a solution to streamline these processes, reduce the workload on its DevOps teams, and enable them to focus on innovation rather than IT issues.

Springer Nature, a leading global publisher of research and science literature, faced significant cybersecurity challenges due to its large, international workforce and the ongoing digitalization of the scientific publishing industry. With over 11,000 employees spread across 200 locations and multiple time zones, the company needed to protect its assets in a hybrid cloud environment. The existing security infrastructure, which included Active Directory and a home-grown Identity Governance and Administration solution, was insufficient for a comprehensive Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) implementation. The company identified ransomware and identity theft as key risks, necessitating a more robust access management system to safeguard its valuable assets and ensure secure access for its employees.

Information security in the modern age presents a significant challenge for companies like Takeda, which must balance the need for fast, easy access to data with the growing threats to data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Takeda Pharmaceutical Company faced the challenge of securing digital privacy for patients and caregivers while protecting critical data supporting life-saving research. The company operated on a traditional network access model with server rooms and on-site networks protected by firewalls, accessible only through complex VPN tunneling protocols. The Covid-19 pandemic increased the pressure on healthcare organizations like Takeda to simplify digital experiences while facing targeted data security threats. The company needed to transition from a traditional network model to a Zero Trust security model to address these challenges.

Achievement First faced challenges with staff having to manage multiple passwords for various applications, leading to frustration and wasted time.
