Case Study: Arelion builds an independent identity foundation with Curity

Arelion builds an independent identity foundation in 2 years with Curity

Arelion, a leading Tier 1 internet provider, faced the challenge of building a completely independent IT and identity foundation within two years following its divestment from Telia Company. They required a self-hosted identity and access management solution that offered deep flexibility, integration with on-premise systems, and strict adherence to open standards to avoid the constraints of a typical SaaS provider. They chose the Curity Identity Server from vendor Curity to meet these strategic requirements for control and security.

The solution implemented by Curity was a single, unified identity platform that secured Arelion's customer portal, internal APIs, and partner integrations using various OAuth 2.0 flows. This self-hosted deployment on AWS EKS provided the stability and performance critical for Arelion's backbone-scale operations, allowing for rolling upgrades with zero downtime. The results gave Arelion full control over their identity infrastructure, forming a trusted foundation for customer trust and future security initiatives like risk-adaptive controls.
