Secure Identity Management Solution

Organizations today need to extend access to sensitive corporate resources to an ever-growing number of employees, partners, suppliers and customers.

Effectively managing this increasing number of users is a challenge in itself. No two users have the same identity, rights and responsibilities; your technology environment is likely an uncountable mix of applications, platforms and data-types; and, the responsibility for deploying and managing identities on these systems is spread across your company, challenging you to keep identity data consistent.

Furthermore, unique identities are required for Web services applications and devices that undertake transactions both inside and outside of organizations. How do you ensure that only the correct applications are involved in a Web services transaction? How do you manage these identities in a cost-effective way? And how can you audit any of these transactions?

You need to manage who, or what application, has access to what parts of your business, how it is being used, and what you can do to make this access deeper and better. This is secure identity management.

Legislative Compliance

Your business is under intense pressure to deliver more effective corporate governance, driven by legislation as well as shareholder demands for increased accountability. Compounding this pressure are issues like information and identity theft that are impacting the way you do business.

The situation has led to several major laws - including Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, FISMA and the California Data Security Act - that require the strengthening of internal controls and information security governance. More effective internal controls, including the use of centralized provisioning, strong authentication, and access control systems, can help organizations to comply with these hard hitting pieces of legislation while at the same time realize business benefits like reduced cost and increased service levels for users.
