The Solution
To meet ABA’s needs, Kognitiv deployed its Security Panel – a proprietary and powerful Workday-native solution offering a visual and categorized summary of security group access. The tool was deployed in 2 days and now enables ABA to make informed decisions, document access levels clearly, and proactively manage potential security risks on an ongoing basis.
