Simeio Solutions, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, provides its customers with a comprehensive suite of security solutions designed to protect corporate resources and information. Simeio monitors the use of digital identities and access privileges while leveraging that information to deliver actionable business intelligence.
The ability for Simeio to run a company’s entire Identity and Access Management (IAM) infrastructure either on-premise or remotely was exactly what TD Bank Group was looking for. As one of Canada’s largest financial institutions, TD Bank Group has more than 4,500 retail locations and 85,000 employees. The daily operational side of TD Bank Group requires the use of hundreds of apps used by thousands of people. What they required was a solution for secure access while maintaining compliance that only Simeio could deliver. We mitigated their risk by implementing an access governance platform that provided employees with a single access portal. Today, we manage the complete governance lifecycle of their employees.
Simeio’s “think things through” planning focus was ideal for Vantiv, a company which gives customers payment processing through a single provider. What they required from us was to develop a plan for an IAM environment that provided the required security and could keep pace with the company’s growth strategy. We did just that and more by successfully leveraging their current IAM environment with our secure cloud environment. We also assessed and then delivered solutions to high priorities such as user provisioning and identity administration. It was an intensive project, but we implemented it according to plan within months, not years.
Privileged identities today come in various forms: elevated accounts on cloud services, shared administrator accounts on servers, and service accounts used by applications.
They provide unfettered access to IT systems, and ensuring the security of these accounts is a top priority for most organizations. A recent survey by Aberdeen showed that 90% of data breaches involve the compomise or misuse of privileged access. In the wrong hands, the damage has proven to be catastrophic.
