This case study details the engagement between a major cloud computing provider and Simeio, focusing on the client's challenges with identity and access management (IAM). The enterprise previously had a limited SailPoint implementation and lacked a privileged access management (PAM) solution, which contributed to a significant ransomware attack. Following this incident, which resulted in substantial penalties and regulatory mandates, the client sought Simeio's expertise for an initial assessment to enhance their IAM strategy. The study outlines how Simeio conducted a comprehensive benchmark assessment, identifying gaps and providing recommendations to prevent future breaches. It also describes the operational engagement with Simeio's Managed Services to optimize the SailPoint IdentityNow program and the integration of strategic partners like CyberArk and Azure. The document emphasizes the importance of compliance and readiness in the face of increasing regulatory pressures, highlighting Simeio's role as the client's primary managed identity service provider.
