Case Study: a large federal government client achieves least privilege access and stronger security with Effectual's ADFS implementation

federal government improves least privilege access with Effectual using AWS CloudFormation across multiple accounts

The federal government faced the challenge of managing a highly disparate IT environment and sought to move it towards a more collaborative one. They engaged Effectual to implement a solution that would ensure least privilege access for users through federated access to their Amazon Web Services environment.

Effectual implemented an enterprise-grade Active Directory Federation Service (ADFS) alongside AWS Identity and Access Management. This solution provided reliable, secure access for remote workers and significantly increased security by meeting all requirements through a federated model. The implementation also boosted efficiency through the use of AWS CloudFormation templates for consistent account configuration.
