One Identity,\u00a0a Quest Software business, is helping B. Braun, one of the world’s leading providers of healthcare products, support its digital transformation efforts and get identity and access management (IAM) to corporate networks and data right.<\/p>\n
Using One Identity Manager and associated services,\u00a0B. Braun\u00a0has improved security with automated account provisioning and deactivation as well as\u00a0enhanced protection of company data in its hybrid environment.<\/p>\n
With a\u00a0constantly evolving employee landscape \u2014 including job role changes,\u00a0employees and contractors leaving and starting at the company \u2014 B. Braun needed to increase security, guarantee compliance and control access to company systems and data across an IT environment that included both on-premise systems as well as many cloud-based systems and services.<\/p>\n
This state of flux is a challenge for IT teams responsible for managing access to company systems and keeping corporate data safe.\u00a0\u00a0The firm\u00a0has more than 61,000 employees worldwide \u2014 all of whom have user accounts and associated access that need to be carefully managed.<\/p>\n
“Overall, there was too much risk of unauthorised\u00a0data access and therefore a failure to comply with data security regulations,\u201d\u00a0explained\u00a0Andreas\u00a0Mueller, IT Project Manager at B. Braun. “We were also moving some of our IT to the cloud,\u00a0so we needed a solution that could talk to our on-premise infrastructure and cloud services such as Office 365.\u201d<\/p>\n
The company completed a successful proof of concept of One Identity Manager, followed by implementation specific to the unique needs of the global organisation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIdentity Manager delivered all the features we wanted,\u00a0including cloud connectivity,” said Mueller. “What\u2019s more, One Identity offered to support a POC that integrated with our internal infrastructure. No other provider would go this far.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFor a project of this importance, we wanted to work with a services team because we didn\u2019t have the skills in-house. We looked at several offers, but the proposal from One Identity gave us the most confidence. Its personnel were highly experienced in this kind of implementation,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
B. Braun realised\u00a0that access needs to be correct in order to reduce risk and protect company data.\u00a0Today, the Identity Manager solution securing B. Braun\u2019s internal systems and users is about to go live for personnel in Germany and Switzerland. In the coming months, it will be rolled out worldwide.<\/p>\n
“All the right people have access to what they need now that account creation and termination are automated with Identity Manager,” explained\u00a0Mueller. “There’s complete transparency and greater protection of company data. Everyone knows the position of their requests within the workflow at any given time. There is also less chance of errors.”<\/p>\n
Looking ahead, B. Braun plans to enhance its password management program with the support of One Identity. \u201cStep by step, we\u2019re getting our identity and access management right with One Identity. That\u2019s great news for the company and our staff,\u201d Mueller said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
