Case Study: Hackensack Meridian Health secures remote PeopleSoft access with Pathlock

Hackensack Meridian Health secures PeopleSoft access for thousands with Pathlock

Hackensack Meridian Health faced a significant security challenge when expanding remote access to its PeopleSoft system. The healthcare provider needed to integrate Duo Security for multi-factor authentication but found that PeopleSoft lacked native support for SAML identity providers, complicating the integration and raising concerns about exposing sensitive data. They turned to the vendor Pathlock to address these critical security limitations.

Pathlock implemented its Native for PeopleSoft solution to seamlessly integrate Duo's SAML-based authentication, enabling single sign-on and inline MFA without custom coding. Simultaneously, Pathlock deployed context-aware access controls that restricted high-risk functions to the internal network and entirely blocked remote access for privileged admin accounts. This resulted in a hardened PeopleSoft environment that provided secure, flexible remote access for thousands of employees without compromising system usability or security.
