Case Study: DIRECTV Latin America achieves stronger identity governance and faster access revalidation with OpenText

Entertainment broadcaster implements holistic, highly automated identity management with OpenText™ NetIQ™ Identity Manager for zero trust security

DIRECTV Latin America needed a stronger identity and access management approach to support its move toward zero trust security. The company turned to OpenText products, including NetIQ Identity Manager and NetIQ Identity Governance, to replace fragmented tools and improve control over user access, identity visibility, and compliance.

OpenText implemented a comprehensive identity governance platform that integrated with HR systems, Active Directory, Office 365, and other core applications, while also adding self-service and two-factor authentication with NetIQ Advanced Authentication. The result was greater visibility into global identities, a reduced burden on the security team, and a 50% cut in time spent on access revalidation, while onboarding new employees now takes only minutes.
