Autodesk boosts security with Reach

Autodesk is changing how the world is designed and made. Their technology spans architecture, engineering, construction, product design, manufacturing, media and entertainment, empowering innovators everywhere to solve challenges big and small. Autodesk faced challenges managing their extensive array of security tools, which led to underutilization and inefficiencies.

The Trust Organization at Autodesk faced gaps in how users accessed their environments, presenting risks that were difficult to quantify. The Chief Trust Officer flagged these issues, prompting the team to seek a solution that could enable Autodesk to get more from the security tools they already owned.

Reach was introduced into Autodesk’s environment to address these comprehensive security needs. Unlike other niche solutions that focused on isolated aspects of security, Reach offered a unified platform that covered identity, device, network, and endpoint security holistically. This broad coverage was crucial for Autodesk, which required a product that could integrate seamlessly across various security domains.

"We could set up an automation with Reach to populate a ticket with all the relevant details as a way to streamline our workflow."

The deployment of Reach at Autodesk was notable for its simplicity and speed. Reach required minimal time to integrate into the Autodesk environment. The platform provided actionable insights soon after deployment, facilitating rapid adoption and immediate benefits. Detailed documentation and support from Reach made the process straightforward, allowing Autodesk’s InfoSec team to implement comprehensive security changes quickly and effectively.

Hiring for security expertise instead of security product expertise

Demand security talent has never been greater as the threat landscape continues to evolve.

Reach stands apart by maximizing the security investments organizations already have, rather than adding complexity with new tools. Unlike niche solutions that focus on isolated security domains, Reach provides a unified platform that spans identity, device, network, and endpoint security, ensuring holistic protection. At Autodesk, Reach’s ability to automate risk-based policy adjustments and integrate directly into existing workflows led to immediate value, reducing response time from detection to resolution and streamlining security operations through automated ticketing and remediation. This comprehensive, action-driven approach enables security teams to close gaps faster and operate more efficiently, without increasing workload or overhead.
