Why Imgur used Foxpass
Imgur Deploys Foxpass to Automate LDAP and Security Best Practices at Scale
The Challenge
Imgur’s team was rapidly growing and they were feeling the pain of manually managing accounts in-house and maintaining security best practices for user access to their infrastructure. The team was spending a lot of valuable time and resources on manually managing authentication to servers, doing user provisioning, deprovisioning, and resetting passwords.
They were looking for a solution that would help them save time by automating access control to their resources and helping them implement security best practices at scale.
The Solution
Michael Cummings, Principal DevOps Engineer, says "I knew what features I was looking for in a solution and Foxpass was the right choice to automate our LDAP as well as make access control easy to manage for our growing team."
Foxpass delivered a full suite of features that automated server access and RADIUS management for their VPN, as well as integration into Imgur's ticketing system. As the Imgur IT team is continuing to expand, Foxpass is making it easy to manage access to their infrastructure.
