Implementing the Illumio Adaptive Security Platform and Tailoring Application-Specific Security

To meet the client's requirements, we deployed the Illumio Adaptive Security Platform. This platform provides robust mitigation against lateral movement within the network, a common pathway for security breaches.

We collaborated with the client's application owners to design application-specific security measures, ensuring that each application was adequately protected based on its unique needs and vulnerabilities. Additionally, we integrated Illumio into the access-provisioning process, streamlining the implementation of control measures where vulnerabilities existed.

Task Mining and Corrective Actions in Accounts Payable

To resolve the client's challenges, we implemented Celonis, a state-of-the-art task mining tool, to gain comprehensive insights into their accounts payable processes. Through this tool, we validated data and key performance indicators (KPIs) with process owners, ensuring accuracy and a clear understanding of the current processes.

Following this, we implemented corrective actions in the accounts payable department. These actions included auditing any outgoing payments for adherence to the correct payment terms and alerting the procurement teams when discrepancies were identified. This proactive approach allowed the company to rectify issues swiftly and avoid unnecessary capital outflow.

Large organizations often face difficulty managing internal processes and master data as a result of the scale at which data needs to be maintained. Without strict controls in place, it is easy for data to become stale - often as a result of data entry errors or changes that happen within an organization outside of systems. This bad data can cause real issues in labor productivity, cash flow, supply chain planning, and so many other areas of a business.
