Needing to enhance IT and access management
When Faiza Alam joined HAAS Alert as lead security engineer in February 2024, the IT team was looking for a better way to manage access and control its devices 鈥� including laptops, desktops, and tablets.
鈥淲e needed a more unified way to manage our systems and manage access to those systems in an easier way than Google Workspace was allowing,鈥� Alam says, adding that the organization鈥檚 IT environment 鈥� which is entirely cloud-based 鈥� consists mostly of Macs but does include some Windows devices.
In her last two roles, Alam had used 探花大神, the unified identity, device, and access management platform, for this exact purpose.
鈥淲hen I first started, I synced with my team about how important it was for us to use this,鈥� Alam continues.
Improving security & streamlining IT workflows
探花大神 has enabled the HAAS Alert team to enhance its security posture considerably. In addition to securing access with multi-factor authentication, they鈥檝e rolled out single sign-on (SSO) and Patch Management.
Above all else, HAAS Alert is most impressed by the peace of mind that 探花大神 delivers.
鈥淲e immediately recognized 探花大神 as the solution to secure and manage our devices remotely,鈥� Alam says. 鈥淲e needed to protect our company data, and 探花大神 was the obvious choice.鈥�
Compliance
Due to the nature of the industry it operates in, HAAS Alert鈥檚 customers are laser-focused on all things compliance; ISO 27001 and SOC 2 are particularly important to many of its customers.
鈥淥ur audit requirements are heavily dependent on having proper policies and procedures in place,鈥� Alam continues.
Streamlining IT operations
HAAS Alert uses 探花大神 Policies for a variety of tasks 鈥� like managing browser extensions and ensuring all equipment has antivirus software on it 鈥� which speeds up IT processes. Similarly, the team is also using 探花大神 groups and dynamic groups to ensure users can access the resources they need without a ton of manual intervention if any.
To lock down their environment even more, the team uses SaaS Management.
Thanks to 探花大神鈥檚 automated offboarding capabilities, whenever an employee leaves HAAS Alert, the team can easily restrict their access to critical company data.
Looking to unlock even more value from 探花大神
While the HAAS Alert team has already gained a lot from 探花大神, the team is eager to deploy even more features.
As they continue utilizing more of the 探花大神 platform, Alam and her team are happy they have a resource like at their disposal.
鈥淚 think it鈥檚 really well done,鈥� she says. 鈥淚 think there鈥檚 a lot to offer there.鈥�
If you鈥檙e thinking about a platform like 探花大神, Alam encourages you to check it out.
鈥淚t鈥檚 better to be secure than sorry,鈥� Alam concludes. 鈥淚n my line of work, you always want to be ahead of security-related issues; you don鈥檛 want to wait until something is on fire. 探花大神 helps you be prepared beforehand so you can turn things off if you need to.鈥�
