This presentation offers a real-world example of implementing a modern authentication journey for a multinational corporation with a legacy infrastructure and a user base of 90,000. We will explore the critical steps taken to transform the company's authentication system, focusing on three key areas:
- Identity Lifecycle Management: Establishing a foundation for clean, reliable data.
- Modern Authentication: Implementing a self-controlled Passkey enrollment system using open standards, while bridging legacy gaps through technical intermediary layers.
- Comprehensive Security: Addressing identity, authentication, and session handling to secure user interactions.
We will discuss the solution architecture, roadmap development, encountered pitfalls, and valuable lessons learned throughout the process. The presentation will conclude with an overview of the benefits realized from this authentication modernization effort. This case study provides practical insights for organizations facing similar challenges in updating their authentication systems within complex, legacy environments.
