Halfway through 2022, Relativity realized that managing access to its government cloud environment had become a slow and manual process for its internal teams, which increased the risk of human error and overburdened security staff. The company set out to implement automation tools to streamline access management, and by December 2023, a new automation process was fully deployed.
“With this project, we saw an opportunity to use automation to save time for our experts and limit the number of people internally who needed authorization to product environments,” says Marcin Święty, CSO at Relativity.
Accelerating and safeguarding access controls
The main challenge for Relativity was that access to the government production environment was extremely limited. Only one person at a time with public trust certification could access and make changes to the environment, which slowed the build process.
