System Management –<\/strong> \u201cSecurity is of utmost importance to Striata as a company. The ability to lock individual systems down provides a valuable chunk of the overall security posture the team seeks to live by. JumpCloud helps our system administrators and support engineers by giving them the ability to perform tasks that weren\u2019t easy in the past \u2014 like rolling out policies to different OSs,\u201d Riaan said. \u201cThat is just one of many crucial features that helps our organization increase security across the board.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nThe Result<\/h2>\n\n\n\n In just six months, JumpCloud helped Striata achieve results that would have taken much longer with traditional identity management solutions. This is all aided by automation, which helps Striata reach compliance goals and provide enhanced security along with time and monetary savings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Automation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Perhaps the best result for Striata is the ability to automate much of their user management. Riaan detailed for us how this process works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe moment that a user is onboarded, we make API calls, and based on predefined rules, it literally assigns the user to the required system with the relevant permissions. On the flip side, to remove a user from every single resource they had access to in one step, is crucial for us. Once we\u2019ve disabled a staff member from the Internal Management System, the automation does the rest. The backup, reallocation, and deactivation access across all the systems is immediate and seamless.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Compliance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n \u201cAutomating all of these user management tasks is great but we also needed a way to incorporate it into our change control and records for auditing purposes,\u201d Riaan said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor ISO 27001 certification this is important because we can prove that we already have an automated, repeatable process in place that provides the required compliance records.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur automated process is well-documented and we record the events, or logs, of each activity.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Security<\/h4>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot only are we moving away from human error failures or time delays, these events and activities can be monitored by our security systems and be presented on a dashboard to our security analysts,\u201d Riaan said. \u201cThey can very easily detect unusual or unexpected activities without logging onto multiple systems.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time Savings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n Performing tasks manually such as removing a user\u2019s access from every system represents a major chunk of time normally required from several different people. But not with automation. \u201cWe can mark the exact date an employee will leave the company. The system then activates at that exact date and time,\u201d Riaan said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is where using JumpCloud\u2019s single sign-on is great because once a user is centrally deactivated, they get logged out of all systems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Monetary Savings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n \u201cTime spent completing these tasks really adds up. Not only does the initial task need to be performed, but we also add a verification step to make sure it was done correctly,\u201d Riaan said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAutomation allows us to implement, test, and verify once \u2013 then reap the benefits going forward. Over a year, we can probably save thousands of dollars with JumpCloud in conjunction with our automated systems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe were very quickly able to realize a positive ROI. The fact that we were able to automate everything and provide a single sign-on across all systems, in less than six months, made the investment in automation and tools very worthwhile.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
