For IT System Managers: How to Unify Dispersed IDs and Authentication Across the Company" Webinar Held

■ Cloud Utilization, Remote Work, and Zero Trust Promotion Make Stronger Authentication and Control Essential
With the widespread adoption of cloud utilization and remote work, users now access business applications from both inside and outside the corporate network. As the concept of Zero Trust gains traction, it is imperative to control access based on ID and authentication, making the implementation of multi-factor authentication (MFA) and single sign-on (SSO) crucial for preventing account hijacking. Concurrently, on-premise business applications and legacy environments still exist, making it a critical challenge to strengthen authentication and enforce company-wide control without interrupting existing operations.

■ SaaS/Business Applications Proliferate Due to Departmental Decisions, Making IT Departments Unable to Keep Track
However, as SaaS and business applications proliferate driven by departmental initiatives, IDs become fragmented across systems, making it difficult to keep up with granting permissions, conducting inventory, and suspending accounts during resignations or transfers. Furthermore, inconsistent authentication methods across devices, locations, and applications degrade user experience and increase the operational burden on IT departments.
Resulting situations often arise where "we want to strongly protect important systems, but exceptions increase, making control impossible" and "legacy applications are difficult to apply SSO and MFA to, remaining as individually managed operations." Leaving such fragmentation unaddressed increases the risk of security incidents and makes it challenging to explain compliance and governance aspects during audits.

■ Unifying Authentication by Gradually Introducing Device MFA + Legacy SSO with Evidian
This seminar will explain the process of unifying authentication by combining device-based MFA and SSO, leveraging Evidian. Evidian's strength lies in its ability to unify authentication that tends to be dispersed and fragmented across cloud, on-premise, and legacy environments. We will introduce a design that involves organizing company-wide authentication requirements and target applications, then gradually expanding the scope of application starting with high-priority areas.
This seminar will summarize practical points for IT system managers who wish to strengthen control through manageable implementation steps while utilizing existing environments.
