Enhancing Security for an Energy Leader With SSO Integration

Industry: Energy

THE CHALLENGE

Addressing Critical Security Vulnerabilities

The client faced a severe security risk that could jeopardize their entire operation.

Key issues included:

  • Unrestricted Access: Anyone with the software’s URL or IP address could access sensitive information.
  • Insecure Authentication: A single username and password were shared among all users, leaving the system highly vulnerable.
  • Operational Risk: The software was central to their business, making these security flaws a significant threat to both their customers and their own operations.

The Hidden Pain Points

  • Customer Trust: Without proper security measures, customer confidence in the client’s software was at risk.
  • Business Limitations: Security shortcomings prevented the software from being offered as a SaaS product.
  • Compliance Issues: The insecure system failed to meet industry standards for data protection and user authentication.

ZetaMinusOne’s Solution

ZetaMinusOne implemented a robust single sign-on (SSO) solution to address the client’s security vulnerabilities and future-proof their software.

Core Features of the Solution

1. SSO Integration - Employees could log in using their company email, ensuring only authorized personnel could access the software.

2. Leverage Existing Security - The system utilized the security protocols of the client’s existing email provider, reducing complexity while maintaining robust protection.

2. Controller-Level Security - SSO was embedded directly into the software’s controllers, creating a seamless and secure access process.
