Case Study: Leading Steel Producer achieves faster disaster recovery and stronger security with One Identity

Leading steel producer reduces risk while saving millions in disaster preparation with Quest Software

Leading Steel Producer, a multinational steel manufacturer with 30,000 employees across the Americas, faced the challenge of managing a large Microsoft Active Directory environment spanning 70+ domains. Manual access controls and disaster recovery processes created security risks, slowed operations, and made it difficult to prepare for outages or prove compliance. The company turned to One Identity and Quest solutions, including Recovery Manager, Change Auditor, and One Identity Safeguard.

One Identity helped the company tighten privileged access by removing direct AD console access, automate disaster recovery, and improve monitoring of directory changes. As a result, disaster recovery time dropped from 10 hours to 65 minutes, saving an estimated $14.18 million USD, while also reducing the risk of unauthorized access and strengthening governance for global compliance.
