Story
Imperial Brands grew cloud misconfigurations faster than the local tools around it. From the United Kingdom, consumer staples teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Cloud security engineers were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Okta Workforce Identity put cloud security review on Okta. Okta is an identity platform for workforce and customer authentication, single sign-on, and lifecycle management. Imperial Brands keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so cloud security engineers do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier cloud security review. Cloud misconfigurations is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join cloud security engineers without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
