Business challenges

  • Password policy management: Adani Group faced difficulties in enforcing stringent password policies, including restrictions on specific words, leading to potential security vulnerabilities caused by the overall lack of password hygiene.

The problem

Adani Group's struggle with password policy enforcement posed significant security risks.

"We were not able to restrict users from using particular words in passwords."

Naresh Kondekar, The organization's IT lead

The organization sought a solution to add an additional layer of granularity into its credential rules despite already configuring password policies using native tools in its AD environment. Kondekar and his team zeroed in on ADSelfService Plus, ManageEngine's identity security solution, to help define and enforce their organization's credential policies.

The solution

With the introduction of ADSelfService Plus in Adani Group's IT environment, Kondekar and his team were able to implement strong credential rules. Thanks to the solution's password policy enforcement capabilities that align with NIST's guidelines and the integration it offers with credential watchdog systems like 'Have I been Pwned'.

Also, the IT team at Adani Group leverages ADSelfService Plus to implement OTP-based authentication via SMS and e-mail across its employee base, and Kondekar opined that the solution was robust on that aspect. With over two years of deploying the solution and addressing key security challenges, Kondekar'steam finds ADSelfService Plus to be an efficient solution with the likelihood of recommending ADSelfService Plus to his peers standing at an overwhelming eight on a scale of 10.
