We are thrilled to share the story of how Sophos, the global leader and innovator of advanced security solutions that defeat cyberattacks, leverages Opal Security to scale phishing-resistant MFA and Just-in-time Access across their development team. Sophos previously used a traditional IGA tool for identity management but needed a better, scalable solution to support hundreds of accounts and over 1500 highly skilled developers across the company. On its wishlist for a new solution, Sophos looked for: ✅ Scalable just-in-time access ✅ Scalable peer approval workflows ✅ Phishing-resistant MFA for its cloud environment ✅ Developer-friendly tooling ✅ Automatable, IaC-driven workflow Opal was able to deliver all that and more for the Sophos team. With Opal, Sophos was able to overcome the limitations of its previous identity governance solution and implement a modern, zero trust security model across its rapidly growing AWS environment. Check out our new case study (link in comments) to see how we helped Sophos create a scalable, robust identity management program.

Least Privilege is easy to talk about in theory, but hard to implement in practice, due to the speed and complexity of business.  You need to know what to focus on, how to get started and where to let progress trump perfection to get a least privilege program up and running.  Opal Security's Umaimah K., with support from Caleb Sima, provides a practical overview for CISOs and security leaders looking to implement least privilege in this blog post: https://lnkd.in/gEanV55r

Our CEO & Founder Umaimah K. sat down with Code Story to share the challenges she faced while trying to manage identity security, why she decided to build her own solution, and how that led her to founding Opal Security.

Opal Security's Umaimah K. shared some advice in this SiliconANGLE & theCUBE article on the recent attack focused on Snowflake customers. “Companies can’t just declare an MFA policy; they must actively govern it with MFA controls on approvers and requesters. And MFA alone is not enough to protect against these continuous attacks. Companies must also improve their odds by implementing principles of least privilege to reduce access to data in the first place.” https://lnkd.in/ejdiTGde
