CHALLENGE
Virgin Hyperloop One needed an identity and access management solution and theyneeded it fast. They needed a solution that could protect their intellectual property,
centralize management of their cloud and on-premise applications, and would come froma vendor they could trust. The urgency came to the forefront when one of their otherdepartments that had their own Shadow IT going on wanted to purchase another IAM
solution. This department had integrated many of their applications with a competitor
using a trial account and the trial was coming to an end. The IT Director, Dawn Armstrong,wanted a vendor that would work as a true partner and could move at the speed that
Virgin Hyperloop One is moving. She didn’t feel that the other vendor was going to meetthese needs but that OneLogin could. “At Hyperloop, we’re developing the fifth mode oftransportation, so I need a vendor that is going to move as fast as we’re moving and I
need a vendor that is going to be agile and work with me,” she says.

SOLUTION
Virgin Hyperloop One’s primary goal was IP protection. “Our primary focus is protecting
our intellectual property,” says Armstrong. She was especially concerned because
company executives frequently travel abroad to locations known for stealing IP. They
were also looking for a cloud-based IAM solution because as Armstrong stated, “Wewere using ADFS as our SSO iDP. We had no redundancy and we were reluctant toinvest in a bunch of ADFS infrastructure to make it redundant. Switching to a cloudprovider for application identity management allowed us to get resilient immediately.”
Armstrong wanted to keep the company’s 200 plus employees productive and improvethe efficiency of her IT staff. She wanted an identity and access management (IAM)
solution that could be implemented simply and quickly, but she didn’t want to settle
when it came to choosing a partner. “One of the things I look for across all of myvendors is scalability - somebody who is going to support us as our needs change andour needs grow.” Virgin Hyperloop One placed its trust in OneLogin to deliver a rapid yetsimple implementation. In just thirty-six hours, OneLogin’s experts helped VirginHyperloop One move to the OneLogin Trusted Experience Platform.

CUSTOMER STORY|RESULTS
Since deployment, the transportation company has grown from 200 to 300 employees,with an average of seven apps in the OneLogin portal to over fifty. OneLogin has madeprovisioning apps easy for Armstrong’s IT staff. The process of configuring SSO for
applications before could take up to weeks to complete. Now they can add a new
application in a couple of hours. In some cases it might take a couple of days but that is
usually because of dealing with the Service Provider, not OneLogin. “The amount ofeffort that my team spends spinning up another app within OneLogin is really short.”
Hyperloop’s IT admins have found having a single place to view all users, their attributes
and login events invaluable. They also appreciate how easy and quickly setting up MFA
has been. Users have found the portal a convenient “one stop shop” to access theirapplications from.
Most importantly, Armstrong reports, “OneLogin allowed us to be comfortable withsecuring all of our intellectual property.” Virgin Hyperloop One applies policies tospecific IP ranges to protect executives traveling to other countries, and uses
OneLogin’s risk-scoring engine, Vigilance AI, and SmartFactor Authentication toautomatically adjust the required authentication factors based on risk.
