Facing multiple mandates to strengthen application security, the State of Indiana selected Pathlock to enhance PeopleSoft authentication, visibility, and data protection without adding complexity or delaying ongoing upgrade projects.
Balancing Mandates, Complexity, and Resources
As part of a statewide initiative to improve data security, the State of Indiana launched a PeopleSoft security enhancement project. The goals included expanding multi-factor authentication (MFA), enabling single sign-on (SSO) for all users, including vendors and seasonal workers, and improving visibility for compliance and incident response.
However, the State was still evaluating its long-term identity management strategy and was operating with limited support staff. Logging was minimal, and only advanced users could navigate system records. Any solution would need to deliver results quickly, flexibly, and without complicating existing PeopleSoft upgrades.
A Unified Platform for Secure Access and Visibility
The State selected Pathlock Native for PeopleSoft as the sole-source solution for their evolving needs. Pathlock offered a proven, unified platform that included application firewall capabilities, data masking, user activity logging, analytics, MFA, and SSO, all without requiring custom development or multiple vendors.
This approach gave the State immediate gains in data protection and compliance readiness. With Pathlock’s support for multiple identity providers, they could implement MFA and SSO now while retaining the flexibility to adjust strategy later without replatforming.
Ready for Now. Built for What’s Next.
With Pathlock’s rapid deployment model, the State quickly reduced sensitive data exposure and improved logging for compliance and incident response. Just as importantly, they avoided delaying their broader PeopleSoft upgrades while maintaining the project timeline and keeping administrative overhead low.
By selecting a single, market-proven solution, Indiana streamlined procurement, accelerated implementation, and strengthened its overall security posture without compromising on usability or scalability.
