Challenges
Perpetual approached miniOrange to address critical security vulnerabilities in their ADFS infrastructure that posed significant risks to their financial operations and regulatory compliance.
The organization faced several security and operational challenges:
- Weak ADFS Authentication: ADFS's single-factor authentication left important financial systems open to credential-based attacks and efforts to get in without permission.
- Regulatory Compliance Requirements: Because it was a bank, the organization had to meet strict security and audit criteria that required employees to use more than one method of authentication to get in.
- Infrastructure Needs for On-premise: Because of data sovereignty and security rules, the solution had to be fully deployed on-premises, with no reliance on the cloud or sending data outside of the company.
- Large-scale Management of Users: With 1500+ employees requiring secure access to various financial applications, the solution needed to handle high-volume authentication requests efficiently.
- Integration with Legacy System: The existing ADFS infrastructure required seamless MFA integration without disrupting current workflows or requiring extensive system overhauls.
