CanonCanon Adopts Check Point for Identity Operations

Teams at Canon moved access control onto Check Point after local tools started to collide.
“IAM and helpdesk needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.”
“Check Point Software Technologies provides firewall, cloud, and endpoint security, with a shared threat intelligence layer.”

Story
Inside Canon, identity operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in information technology groups working out of Japan. IAM and helpdesk needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Canon uses Infinity from Check Point as the working layer for access control. Check Point Software Technologies provides firewall, cloud, and endpoint security, with a shared threat intelligence layer. The practical change is simple: identity operations has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Canon gets from Check Point is a durable place to run identity operations and a way for IAM and helpdesk to see the same access control at the same time.
