The Story
CNP Vita Assicura S.p.A. embarked on a digital transformation journey aimed at enhancing the security and visibility of identities, streamlining operations and elevating customer service. As the organization expanded its Italian footprint, managing identities and access across diverse systems became increasingly complex. Filippo Pisapia, Information Security Manager at CNP Vita Assicura S.p.A., recognized the need for a centralized solution to ensure security and compliance while accommodating the evolving needs of the organization.
With over 1.4 million customers in Italy, CNP Vita Assicura S.p.A. began the search for a partner who could provide a comprehensive identity governance and administration (IGA) and privileged access management (PAM) solution.
Pisapia understood the criticality of having a centralized, robust identity management solution in today's digital landscape. While operational processes were established, they were distributed over various tools and partly delegated to manual actions. By implementing One Identity Manager and One Identity Safeguard, CNP Vita Assicura S.p.A. gained a significant reduction in onboarding time, an improved security posture, and enhanced compliance capabilities.
The organization’s decision to choose One Identity was driven by the platform's flexibility, customization options, and ability to serve as a single vendor for both IGA and PAM needs. The solution not only streamlined access management but also provided exhaustive tracking of processes, approvers and integrated audit/compliance features.
A custom integration with the mainframe allowed CNP Vita Assicura S.p.A.’s most critical application, its Company portfolio, and its account management to be centralized and safeguarded under One Identity. Prior to implementing Safeguard, CNP Vita Assicura S.p.A. lacked a formal PAM process and solution, relying on ticketing and audit logs for system administration tracing, which proved time-consuming and inefficient. With Safeguard, requests and sessions are centralized, enhancing control and efficiency.
Looking ahead, CNP Vita Assicura S.p.A. plans to further leverage One Identity Safeguard to integrate seamlessly into their DevOps environment, ensuring both security and operational efficiency. With an IGA and PAM solution in place, they also anticipate significant reductions in cybersecurity insurance premiums. With a clear focus on delivering exceptional value to their customers while safeguarding sensitive data, CNP Vita Assicura S.p.A. continues to innovate and evolve in the ever-changing landscape of identity security.
