Case Study: Essendon Volkswagen achieves stronger security and eliminates password sprawl with Delinea

Essendon Volkswagen Improves Security and Eliminates Password Sprawl with Centrify Identity Service

Essendon Volkswagen, a leading Melbourne-area car dealership, faced rampant password sprawl—employees needed 10–40 different credentials to access public and intranet sites for sales, finance, parts and service, leading to reused passwords, written notes and security risk. The challenge was to improve security and usability while ensuring compliance with password policies and privacy requirements.

Network Professional Services implemented Centrify Identity Service in October 2014, integrating with Active Directory to provide single sign-on, role-based access via Org Units and browser shortcuts. The result: employees now use one personal password, reducing password-related risk, improving productivity and satisfaction, simplifying offboarding and helping the dealership meet AD and Privacy Act requirements.
