Situation

With locations in 18 countries, it is important for UL to effectively manage its global operations, including tightly managed global security. The inability to handle an increasing volume of support calls related to identity management was hindering the achievement of business objectives and growth. Additionally, UL faced the daunting challenge of maintaining consistent communication and a steady flow of corporate resources to employees, specific to job function and level of permission.
UL needed a platform to effectively manage security for user identities, provide secure access to corporate information across the enterprise, and address the following issues:

  • Adoption of security standards for API-driven services in a non-intrusive way;
  • Fine-grained authorization for enhanced security;
  • Proactive monitoring of Identity and Access Management (IAM) components in the UL ecosystem to prevent or address critical issues quickly.
