Case Study

Strengthening Data Security Through Multifactor Authentication at a financial services organization.

Background

A leading financial services organization with 30,000 employees, operated in a highly digitized environment with a large number of legacy applications, handling sensitive client data. The company faced escalating concerns regarding data breaches and the adequacy of its traditional password-based authentication system.

Challenge

The company encountered challenges since they did not want to make any changes to their legacy applications. The first step was to have single sign on implemented and then offer MFA during the login process. This led to an increasing susceptibility to unauthorized access and data breaches. Recognizing the urgent need for a more robust solution, the company sought to enhance its workforce identity security while ensuring seamless access to essential systems and data.

Solution:

The company implemented BAAR-IGA’s SSO solution to unify access to all applications and offer MFA to enhance security. This system allowed employees to log in once using a single set of credentials for both, new age and legacy applications. Moreover, no changes had to be made to their legacy applications. The SSO solution was integrated with the company’s existing identity provider, enabling centralized management of user identities and access controls.

Implementation

The company opted to use BAAR-IGA’s authenticator, for integrating biometric authentication and other forms of MFA. This approach combined factors such as something the user knows (a password), something the user has (a one time password), and something the user is (biometric data), fortifying the authentication process.

Outcome

Following the implementation of MFA, the company witnessed a significant reduction in security incidents and unauthorized access attempts. Employees reported heightened confidence in the security measures, facilitated by the convenience of biometric authentication and hardware tokens. The streamlined authentication process led to increased productivity and a more robust defense against cyber threats.

Conclusion

This case study underscores the efficacy of multifactor authentication, particularly in bolstering workforce identity security within technology-driven organizations. By adopting advanced authentication methods, the company not only mitigated the risk of data breaches but also optimized operational efficiency, underscoring the pivotal role of MFA in safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining a secure digital environment.
