Identity and Access Management Modernization

An IAM modernization program that centralizes identity management, implements strong authentication, and establishes governance controls — forming the foundation for Zero Trust access decisions.

PRACTICE

Cyber Resilience & Zero Trust

CLIENT PROFILE

Federal agency modernizing identity infrastructure to support multi-factor authentication, conditional access, and identity governance across cloud and on-premises resources

Challenge

Fragmented identity sources with inconsistent access policies across systems
Reliance on passwords without enterprise-wide multi-factor authentication
No centralized identity governance for access reviews, provisioning, and de-provisioning

Approach

Consolidate identity sources into a unified identity provider with directory synchronization
Implement phishing-resistant MFA and conditional access policies based on user, device, and context
Deploy identity governance for automated provisioning, access reviews, and separation of duties
Integrate identity signals with SIEM for identity-based threat detection

Typical Outcomes

Unified identity fabric with consistent policy enforcement across all resources
Elimination of password-only access and reduced credential-based attack risk
Automated access lifecycle management with auditable governance controls

Procurement Paths
