Customer Environment

The customer operates multiple offices, development centres, and support centres across different geographic locations.

Its development centres use a Microsoft cloud environment for their operations. The organisation has deployed multiple Microsoft Windows systems connected to several local Domain Controllers, which are joined to multiple Azure AD environments.

Existing Technology Environment

Development centres across multiple geographic locations
Microsoft cloud environment
Microsoft Windows systems
Multiple local Domain Controllers
Multiple Azure AD environments
Hybrid-joined Windows PCs
Microsoft DevOps applications

The Challenge

The customer identified the following requirements as critical:

Enable passwordless authentication for its Microsoft DevOps applications.
Allow teams across global locations to use secure authentication through FIDO2 biometric security keys.
Replace soft authenticators with biometric security keys.
Restrict employees from sharing passwords and other authenticators.
Enable employees to use any Hybrid-joined PC to log in and access their assigned enterprise applications.
