Insurance Company Streamlines Identity Governance and Administration with Netwrix Usercube
We were able to check all the boxes regarding the requirements of the specifications. The user-friendly interface of Netwrix Usercube was also a big factor for us.

- Establish an authoritative identity store. Thélem Assurances had multiple sources for identity information, including HR, applications and managers. To enable effective governance, the company wanted to establish an authoritative repository with detailed information about each user, including their role, department and manager.
- Streamline authorization reviews. Reviewing user access rights required a significant amount of time and effort. The company wanted a simple process that would make it easy to enforce least privilege.
- Assign rights based on business roles. The company wanted to create a catalog of roles for granting rights to both users and applications.
When I presented the project to the management committee, our general manager was amazed and very interested to see that in a single application they could identify all the IT users at a glance.

Thélem Assurances chose Netwrix Usercube primarily for its ability to address the critical risk of unauthorized access identified by a risk mapping it conducted. Other factors included the simplicity of deployment and advanced identity governance features.
With Netwrix Usercube, the company has gained all the following benefits:
- Streamlined user lifecycle management. Netwrix Usercube enabled Thélem Assurances to create an authoritative identity repository, thereby eliminating the issues and risks inherent in their previous system of multiple identifiers with no structured hierarchy. Moreover, responsibility for identity governance is strictly controlled based on an approved assignment matrix.
- Accurate, role-based access control. Netwrix Usercube provides a role-oriented framework that enabled the company to grant access rights to users according to their roles and location.
