Download ›A complex telecommunication network with over 100k geographically distributed devices and three large data centers, was plagued by ghost SSH keys, certificates, and local passwords across both on-premises and cloud IT devices.
The lack of clear policies and governance lead to uncontrolled creation of machine identities, making it impossible to establish a security control center or gain visibility, thus allowing ghost identities and exploitable security vulnerabilities.
Our platform was deployed to manage the lifecycle of machine identities. Segura® scanned and discovered all privileged credentials, SSH keys, and certificates across more than 10,000 devices and multiple CAs, and automated identity rotation and renewal for these credentials.

Introduction
Imagine a telecommunications network so vast and intricate that it spans the globe, connecting over 100,000 devices across multiple continents. This is the reality for one of the world's largest telecom companies. With its extensive reach across Europe and the Americas, its network infrastructure is a marvel of modern engineering, supporting millions of customers through fixed and mobile telephony, broadband, and subscription television. With such scale comes complexity, and with complexity, the challenge of managing and securing a sprawling array of machine identities.
Major Challenges with Security and Compliance
This enormous telecommunication network is a tapestry of more than 100,000 devices spread across three enormous, geographically dispersed data centers. Within this network, a plethora of SSH keys, certificates, and local passwords circulate, alongside numerous ghost identities lurking both on-premises and in the cloud.
The absence of a clear governance policy meant that machine identities were created haphazardly, leading to an almost insurmountable challenge in controlling and securing these identities.
Establishing a security control center for machine identities was nearly impossible, leaving the network vulnerable to ghost identities and potential security breaches.
The need for a comprehensive, scalable solution was evident.
Transformative Solutions with Segura®
The deployment has provided a centralized view of SSH keys, credentials, and certificates, streamlined lifecycle management, and reduced the number of ghost SSH keys and unused credentials. Additionally, it has minimized application outages caused by certificate expirations, making the network more secure and reliable.
