How Businesses Can Enhance Security for Legacy Applications

A rural insurance provider had a challenge when it came to the legacy application that supported its business across several states. While the application itself still met all the business’s needs and provided a friendly user interface employees appreciated, it didn’t support modern authentication methods for access management, which represented a security risk.

CDW solved the complex identity challenge with secure solutions using the Auth0 authentication platform, architected and deployed for multi-environment integration. The solution was enhanced with Microsoft Entra ID and custom Azure functionality that enabled modern authentication protocols without requiring application refactoring.

The authentication interface was also fully branded for a consistent experience, and the CDW team configured Auth0 Event Triggers for automatic data updates.

CDW’s team of experts demonstrated the flexibility and extensibility of the Auth0 authentication platform in transforming constrained authentication environments into secure ecosystems. This robust solution extended modern identity capabilities to the mission-critical legacy application, bolstering security and simplifying user access.

• CDW provided Microsoft Entra ID federation for secure SSO for internal users 
• CDW’s dedicated service and engineering expertise ensured flawless implementation

By establishing a scalable user access foundation, the insurance organization will be well prepared for future modernization efforts and cloud integrations.
