Hey everyone, happy Friday! ☺️ We’re excited to share our latest success story with you all: “How Cerbos gave Utility Warehouse control over 4,500 services and millions of NHIs” Utility Warehouse, a FTSE 250 company, faced a growing challenge common in modern infrastructures: managing and securing Non-Human Identities across a vast network of over 4,500 services. As systems scale, NHIs like service accounts and workloads identities can proliferate, leading to overprivileged access and reduced visibility if not properly controlled. By implementing Cerbos, Utility Warehouse transitioned to a true Zero Trust architecture, achieving: 🔹 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐍𝐇𝐈 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥. Securing access at every hop within their service mesh, moving beyond perimeter-only trust. 🔹 𝐄𝐧𝐝-𝐭𝐨-𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Ensuring user identity and intent are maintained throughout the service chain for full-context authorization. 🔹 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 & 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬. Efficiently managing millions of authorization decisions daily across their extensive service landscape. 🔹 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐭 & 𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. Leveraging integrated audit logging for enhanced threat detection and compliance. This strategic implementation not only bolstered their security posture but also streamlined operations, reclaiming significant development time. Kudos Rob Crowe and the Utility Warehouse team for their forward-thinking approach to securing NHIs at scale!
