Who is the organisation and what\u2019s its context? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The organisation is a worldwide pioneer in the aerospace industry, operating in the commercial aircraft, helicopters, defence and space sectors. They design, manufacture and deliver aerospace products, services and solutions to customers on a worldwide scale, and employ more than 195 000 employees around the globe, across 455 sites. The Covid-19 pandemic increased the usage of remote workers who access sensitive data, user rights, identity management and software to be handled on a daily basis.

After Covid-19, and given the number of cyber-attacks targeting employees and partners, the decentralised IT infrastructure and the accelerating shift to the cloud, the organisation decided to implement a new, innovative and pragmatic methodology, without outright technological revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which factors played an important role in the decision?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bringing together all IT architects for the first time in the Group\u2019s history, in order to have an optimal, global strategy, the decisive points of the project were as follows: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
