Core present at #OneIdentityUNITE

Core were delighted to be asked to present at the recent #OneIdentityUNITE conference in Nice, France. We presented two sessions at the conference: one to the partner community on Monday, followed by a second presentation on Wednesday to customers and partners, focusing on our Aurora Identity as a Service platform and referencing a case study.

Monday

Monday's presentation was to the other One Identity partners and discussed our success in partnering with One Identity over the past 12 years.

Core has built a unique managed services practice by incorporating Identity as a Service at the centre of our Managed Services practice. During on boarding of new customers, we add their Active Directory environment to our Aurora Identity as a Service platform. By securing the identities from the start, we can use this centralised Hybrid Identity Management platform to manage our customers security and identities on-premise and in Office 365. The Aurora platform allows us to have a single 'pane of glass' to manage our customers AD and Office 365 platforms. We can delegate our administrative access into their environment to ensure ISO 27001 compliance, as well as security best practices like segregation of duty between our 2nd and 3rd line teams.

Aurora is built on multiple One Identity products and allows us to synchronise users from customers' HR systems and provision into Active Directory based on business-driven policies and rule sets. Attributes in AD are then further managed by policy as part of the Joiner / Mover / Leave (JML) process to ensure user access rights are automatically removed as well as added when users change roles. Aurora helps Core manage customers in a safe and secure way and is a key component in helping us to drive #GDPR compliance in the identity space.

Wednesday

On Wednesday, Core presented an Aurora customer case study to partners and customers in the ActiveRoles Server session track.

In this session, we presented details of our largest Identity as a Service project; a UK government customer for which we manage 24,000 identities in the Aurora platform. We outlined how we will soon be adding another 19,000 identities to the platform to assist the customer in a complex multi-forest Exchange Hybrid migration to Office365. We also explained how we are using the Aurora platform to consolidate the customer's forests to get them into a supported scenario for using Azure AD Connect to sync their hybrid attributes to Office365.

The customer's current forest topology is a mix of single forest/single domain, single forest/multi domain and account forest/exchange resource forest layouts. AAD Connect supports each of these deployments in isolation, but not all three at once. Aurora has unified all four forests into a single forest for sync with AAD Connect and has removed a major roadblock for the client in getting their prerequisites done for the FastTrack migration service from Microsoft.

The was a very interactive session and at the end we shared our lessons learnt. This covered both the customer's point of view and lessons we have learned as a Managed Services Provider into such a large organisation. We discussed what has gone well over the last two years of providing the Aurora service, as well as areas where we would recommend a different approach based on delays or problems that were encountered with the recent massive changes to a two-year old identity platform.

Recognition

Core were also delighted to win the One Identity UK Partner of the Year award on Wednesday evening of the conference. This was a great recognition of the innovation we are bringing to One Identity products and in taking some of their traditional on-premise products into the cloud. The intellectual property we are building around the Aurora platform goes hand in hand with the new cloud-based #Starling products that One Identity are releasing, and it's great to be working with One Identity together on this cloud journey.

The Future

Core look forward to another great year of partnering with One Identity in 2018 and to using their fantastic products to help our customers #GetIAMRight.
