„Die Zusammenarbeit mit secida in der Vorbereitungsphase unseres IAM-Projekts war extrem hilfreich. Das Team hat unsere bestehenden Prozesse und Systemarchitektur detailliert analysiert und uns klare, praxisnahe Handlungsempfehlungen für die zukünftige Ausrichtung gegeben. Besonders beeindruckt hat uns die tiefgehende Expertise im Bereich Identity Governance – secida versteht es, komplexe Anforderungen strategisch und zugleich umsetzungsorientiert zu denken. Wir können die Zusammenarbeit absolut empfehlen.“

„Nachdem unsere Server an einem Wochenende durch einen Ransomware-Angriff verschlüsselt wurden, standen unsere Warenwirtschaftssysteme und die Produktion vollständig still. Dank der schnellen, äußerst fachkundigen und kompromisslosen Incident-Response durch secida konnten wir innerhalb von nur drei Tagen unsere Verwaltung wieder in den Grundbetrieb überführen und die Produktion in unseren Werken wieder aufnehmen.

Die anschließende Migration nahezu unserer gesamten IT-Infrastruktur in die Microsoft Azure Cloud hat uns nicht nur geholfen, den unmittelbaren Schaden zu begrenzen, sondern uns auch langfristig sicherer, zukunftsfähiger und moderner aufgestellt. Wir sind secida für die hervorragende Zusammenarbeit sehr dankbar.“

„Die effektive Optimierung und Härtung unserer Microsoft-Umgebung war für uns eine komplexe Herausforderung. Dank der secida AG mussten wir uns um die bestmögliche Konfiguration des Microsoft Defenders und die Implementierung von Azure Threat Protection und Exchange Online Protection keine Sorgen machen. Dazu wurde unser ERP-System gehärtet. So fühlen wir uns den aktuellen Cyber-Bedrohungen gewachsen.”

Case studies
IT transformation
The corporation's IT infrastructure is currently decentralized, the IT of additional acquired businesses has not yet been integrated. User identities are managed in local directory services. The company plans to build new services in a shared IT-environment hosted in the public cloud that needs to be accessible to all employees worldwide.

Cost optimization
The IT infrastructure for the company's web applications has developed over time. Different architectural concepts were used to provide application access (e.g. reverse proxy, federation). Licensing costs have escalated and the implemented solutions have partially overlapping functions.

IT transformation

The company's IT infrastructure is set up in a decentralized manner; the IT of purchased companies has usually not been consolidated. User identities are managed in local directory services. The company now wants to build new services in a shared environment in the public cloud, to be used by all employees worldwide. Ideally, old and new services should be used with a uniform user identity after a single login (single sign-on).

Lösung: 

  • Cleanup and standardization of decentralized user data
  • Transfer of decentralized user identities to a central identity management system
  • Central provisioning of user identities to the cloud
  • Automation of support processes (e.g. creation of new users, password change)

This enabled the onboarding of over 35,000 existing users in less than 6 months. It also enabled single sign-on for all services used by the user, whether in the data center or in the cloud. Today, mobile users can access efficient, automated support worldwide.

Cost optimization

The IT infrastructure for the company's web applications has developed over time. Different architectural concepts were used to provide application access (e.g. reverse proxy, federation). Licensing costs have escalated and the implemented solutions have partially overlapping functions.

Lösung:

  • Unification of the access architecture for web applications
  • Consolidation to one service per access technology
  • Optimization of the number of third-party products used
  • Migration of the applications to the target services via quality-assured migration processes

Savings of 25% of previous licensing and maintenance costs in the millions while maintaining security and functionality. Further cost reduction potential in operation due to decreasing complexity.

Security

Professional hackers compromised administrative accounts and secured extensive access rights to data and servers. After successful mitigation of the cyber incident, the corporation wants to minimize the risk of future cyberattacks. 

Lösung:

  • Implementation of a secure administration environment for Active Directory and other directory services
  • Hardening and logical segmentation of directory services
  • Securing administration accounts for servers and applications through Privileged Account Management (PAM)
  • Introduction of changing passwords and release processes as well as multifactor authentication
  • Cleanup of accounts and services no longer needed

As a result, in addition to a significant increase in security, cost-saving effects were also achieved through consolidation. Since the introduction of the new security systems, no similarly large cyber incident has been detected.

In 2016, Alpha Barry took over responsibility for the Group's cybersecurity during a critical cyberattack by professional perpetrators from the Far East. Since successfully defending against the attack, he has worked to secure the Group-wide IT infrastructure through modern Identity & Access Management, Privileged Access Management and Hybrid Cloud Security.

Viktor Biletzki

COO

Viktor Biletzki looks back on 25 years of experience in managing group-wide programs and projects. In the early 1990s, for example, he already worked as an IT project manager and consultant for the German Bundestag, later headed the Project Management Competence Center for the Mobility division at Nokia, or was responsible for carve-outs and integration as global program manager at Nokia Siemens Networks. 

In 2014, he took over the responsibility for the successful realization of customer projects at Atos. In this role, he managed a wide variety of complex and critical projects, sometimes with a direct reporting line to top management.

In 2017, Viktor Biletzki joined thyssenkrupp Digital Projects as IT Project Director, where he, among other things, designed and implemented the central identity management service across the Group, realized an O365 migration, and introduced sustainable protection mechanisms as part of the cyberattack on the Group.   

Viktor Biletzki left thyssenkrupp to successfully implement projects with secida AG in the areas of cybersecurity, cloud technologies and carve-outs at other companies.
