Case Study: Belden achieves secure SSO and API security with Forum Systems Forum Sentry

Belden Leverages Forum Sentry to Enable Secure SSO and IAM

Belden Inc., an American manufacturer of networking and connectivity products, faced the challenge of enabling secure single sign-on (SSO) and identity and access management (IAM) across over 20 segregated Active Directory domains for its internal employees, external sales teams, and third-party partners. They needed a best-of-breed solution to provide seamless and secure access to both internal and cloud-based applications. Forum Systems provided its Forum Sentry API Security Gateway to address this need.

The solution from Forum Systems enabled Belden to implement secure SSO for applications like SharePoint, Salesforce, and Tableau, while also securing its B2B portal which processes over $26 billion in quotes annually. By leveraging Forum Sentry as a security gateway and identity provider, Belden achieved a single security model across its different brands, eliminated manually coded solutions, and provided secure access with minimal network disruption managed by a small team.
