Situation at The City before IDCS Integration

A rapidly growing metropolitan city (the city) faced significant business challenges in terms of security and access to multiple cloud applications. The City needed a modern, centralized platform for users from various organizations (e.g. City, Clerk of Court, Sheriff’s Office) to securely access its cloud applications.

Major challenges the City faced include:

  • Redundancy of authentication credentials and access permissions
  • Lack of a centralized system with the ability to grant and revoke user access to multiple applications
  • Password management for multiple applications, ensuring adherence to password policies

Oracle Identity Cloud Service provides the City with greater cloud security, is cost effective and resilient, and delivers a highly available identity platform with an improved user experience.

Solution & Benefits of Establishing Cloud Security in the Public Sector

AST partnered with the City municipal government to provide modern solution architecture and design for Cloud Security, streamlining the required access to its multiple cloud applications with Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS). AST provided a centralized platform for City users from various organizations to securely access the cloud applications. To streamline application access, AST integrated IDCS with the City’s multiple identity providers, implemented Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) capabilities, and created a Single Sign-On (SSO) feature for all users.

AST’s implementation of advanced cloud security in the City has delivered the following business value:

  • A centralized system for managing user identities across cloud applications
  • A modern Cloud solution for enhanced availability and performance
  • Improved security with MFA
  • Custom reports for auditing user activity
