Background A large financial institution faced challenges in managing identities and ensuring robust data protection. The institution needed a comprehensive Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution integrated with advanced security measures to protect against internal and external threats.

Objectives 1. Implement a scalable IAM solution to manage user identities and access. 2. Enhance security with behavior analytics and data loss prevention. 3. Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

Solution The institution chose to integrate One Identity Manager with complementary Forcepoint products: Forcepoint User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and Forcepoint Insider Threat.

It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Implementation 1. Identity Management with One Identity Manager • User Provisioning: One Identity Manager was deployed to automate the provisioning and de-provisioning of user accounts across various systems and applications. This ensured that only authorized users had access to critical resources. • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): The institution defined roles and permissions within One Identity Manager, aligning them with business functions. This streamlined the access management process and minimized the risk of over-provisioned accounts. • Attestation: Regular attestation campaigns were conducted to review and certify user access, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. 2. Behavior Analytics with Forcepoint UEBA • User Monitoring: Forcepoint UEBA was integrated to monitor user activities and detect anomalies. This helped in identifying unusual behaviors that could indicate compromised accounts or insider threats. • Risk Scoring: UEBA provided risk scores for users based on their behavior patterns. High-risk users were flagged for further investigation by the security team. 3. Data Protection with Forcepoint DLP • Data Monitoring: Forcepoint DLP was deployed to monitor data movement across the network. Policies were configured to detect and prevent unauthorized transfer of sensitive data. • Incident Response: Alerts from DLP were integrated with the institution’s incident response system, enabling quick action to mitigate potential data breaches. 4. Insider Threat Management with Forcepoint Insider Threat • Behavioral Analytics: This product provided deeper insights into user behavior, complementing UEBA. It focused on detecting insider threats by analyzing user actions and identifying potential malicious intent. • Policy Enforcement: Policies were established to restrict access to sensitive information based on user behavior and risk scores.

Outcomes 1. Improved Identity Management: • Streamlined user provisioning and de-provisioning processes reduced the administrative burden and enhanced security. • RBAC implementation ensured users had appropriate access, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. 2. Enhanced Security Posture: • Integration with Forcepoint UEBA and Insider Threat solutions provided comprehensive monitoring of user activities, enabling early detection of potential threats. • DLP implementation ensured robust protection of sensitive data, minimizing the risk of data breaches. 3. Regulatory Compliance: • Regular attestation campaigns and stringent access controls helped the institution maintain compliance with industry regulations and standards. 4. Proactive Threat Management: • The combined solution enabled the institution to adopt a proactive approach to threat management, with real-time monitoring and quick incident response capabilities.
