Challenge
SMUD’s immediate need called for a solution that could automatically enable and disable employee access, as well as eliminate the paper processes involved with onboarding employees and requesting access to applications. Unstructured data was a growing concern, and after an audit finding, it became more pressing to find a comprehensive governance solution.
Solution
- Improve the overall security posture of the organization by managing user access privileges
- Increase operational efficiency by automating manual processes
- Comply with regulatory compliance requirements by extending identity governance to unstructured data
