Secure Identity Management Solution

Business Value – for Enterprises

To be effective and remain competitive, organizations depend on a productive workforce with immediate and consistent access to the network information and resources they need to do their jobs.

IT departments face numerous challenges along the way, namely:

managing a multitude of user communities, each with their own access and security requirements
administering access across a wide matrix of applications and systems
protecting corporate assets and information against unauthorized access, theft and other breaches
extending the same access and strong security to remote users working over a VPN or WLAN
dealing with constant change within the enterprise, including employee turnover, contract resources, application upgrades/renewals and new business relationships
simplifying the user experience (self-service, single sign-on, etc.)
maintaining a high quality of service even during times of staff and budget freezes

Central to success is the concept of identity management. With the Entrust Secure Identity Management Solution, IT administrators can provision a unique ID to every user and application within the enterprise. Individual permissions, privileges and profile data can then be effectively managed across a complex matrix of applications and systems. Furthermore, access to the system is strongly secured, user data is kept private, and information workflow can be audited for overall accountability.

Working closely with customers to understand and recommend how to address the enterprise identity and access management challenges they face, Entrust delivers a solution that can help:

Increase organizational efficiencies and reduce IT costs

moving away from traditional 'stove-pipe' systems management to centralized management of identities across all applications reduces IT administration cycles
enterprise single sign-on and automated identity lifecycle management eases Help desk costs and increases user satisfaction
unique architecture and tightly integrated components enable rapid deployment and improves project delivery

Improve compliance with legislative and corporate governance requirements

centralized provisioning and single point of access control for all applications help to enforce corporate policies
strong authentication and access controls management enable organizations to deploy sensitive applications with the confidence that only authorized users and applications have the ability to retrieve the information
the ability to add digital signatures and encryption through the same authentication point allows organizations to grow to new applications without deploying a new infrastructure

Increase service levels and user satisfaction

single sign-on enables users to easily and more rapidly access their applications and data, regardless of where they are - on-site or accessing the corporate network remotely
user self-service for all identities (for tasks such as password reset or user profile updates) empowers users to act on needs themselves without relying on the Help desk

Enable secure collaboration among employees

leading authentication capabilities (including two-factor using Entrust USB Tokens) help to provide positive identification of user and application identities
strong authorization functionality manages resource access control across both internal networks and over the WLAN/VPN
digital signatures and encryption deliver accountability and privacy to information and transactions
