Travel & Distribution Identity & Security

Global travel technology providers operate mission-critical platforms that serve airlines, hotels, and travel agencies worldwide. Legacy SiteMinder deployments anchoring 340+ applications, complex partner federation requirements, and Kubernetes-native microservices demand an identity architecture that bridges legacy and modern infrastructure — with zero tolerance for outage in a 24/7 global distribution environment.

Industry Challenges

Key Challenges in Travel & Distribution

The identity and security challenges that define this industry — and the problems we solve for our clients.

01

Legacy SiteMinder at Scale

340+ applications dependent on CA SiteMinder represent massive technical debt. Each application has unique integration patterns, custom agents, and session management requirements that must be mapped and migrated without disrupting global travel operations.

02

Modern Partner Federation

Travel distribution platforms federate identity across airlines, hotel chains, travel agencies, and GDS partners. Modern OIDC and SAML federation must replace legacy agent-based SSO while maintaining partner trust relationships.

03

Kubernetes RBAC with OPA/Styra

Microservices running on Kubernetes require fine-grained, policy-as-code authorization. OPA/Styra integration with identity platforms enables namespace-level RBAC that scales with container orchestration without manual policy management.

04

Incident Response Readiness

Global travel platforms are high-value targets. Identity-centric incident response — including automated session revocation, privilege escalation detection, and forensic identity audit trails — is essential for rapid containment.
