Use case

The Summary

The client operates in a highly regulated capital market environment that requires strict security compliance and confidentiality adherence. It has over 100+ employees across different departments who work closely with each other and external partners.

The client wanted to adopt full-remote working culture by adopting a digital workspace, but was cautious about the security of sensitive data, communication channels, and collaboration tools. The client wanted more than just to integrate remote working tools to fulfill their security and productivity objectives.

The client engaged Aokumo to drive the digital workspace initiative and deliver as soon as possible.

Before

Traditional workspace tools could not provide seamless and secure remote access to business processes and resources.

Mapping the access to data and other resources based on roles was critical to ensure security, accountability, and authority.

Integration with modern cloud-based third-party tools was challenging and time-consuming. The legacy setup did not support Single-Sign-On from modern web-based tools.

High availability and high performance needed to be built to minimize service disruption and meet SLA. The existing setup was slow and disconnected often when more users were using the bandwidth.

After

The team at Aokumo conducted a 4-hour workshop with an interactive session to identify the right set of tools and technologies for remote working.

The team at Aokumo analyzed roles, responsibilities, access level, data security, and other requirements to build a security roadmap.

The team at Aokumo designed the digital workplace on top of AWS Workspaces and Implemented remote-ready tools including Azure Active Directory, Office 365, and Microsoft Intune for access, collaboration, and device management.

Engineers at Aokumo built data and connection security using AWS VPN, encryption, and other technologies to ensure there are no vulnerabilities while communicating between internal and external partners.
