Identity Management In this age of increasing awareness of the importance of security policies as well as high-profile security breaches at major firms, controlling access to the network becomes one of the top concerns of many IT executives. But with many networks forged of diverse technologies, often with multiple directory structures in places, managing access to the network is only as effective as managing provisioning and de-provisioning to each part of the system. In today’s competitive world, you continually need to provide more and better technologies to support an ever evolving workforce and customer base. But each new solution brings with it one more system you need to manage and administer. At the same time, compliance standards from both government and industry mandate controlled and audited means of security access control. But there are a myriad of technologies which overlap and interrelate. Automated user provisioning and de-provisioning as well as workflow attestation based solutions help an IT staff service their clients. Technologies like single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, federated authentication help improve the user experience. The CIS IDM team offers unparalleled expertise in unifying systems while bolstering security through a variety of Identity and Access Management solutions. In doing so, we not only reduce operating costs by lowering the difficulty of managing multiple systems, but we also show our clients compliance solutions which go beyond being enforced – to being provable. This is just one sort of challenge the CIS Identity Management team was designed to conquer. Utilizing best-of-breed technologies, we introduced the concept of “continuous auditing”, moving the concept of compliance from being a backward looking process, running reports on what has already happened, to a forward looking process, detecting and preventing problems before and as they happen. Enforcement of audit constraints, such as separation of duties, becomes a real-time process, rather than something you detect later. Our solutions provide comprehensive auditing capabilities to ensure that only approved users have access to critical network resources, and only when they should. This ensures provable compliance for the business, as well as peace of mind for the IT executive. Our IDM solutions are designed to tackle a wide range of issues revolving around authentication and access – from password policy enforcement, to role-change within the enterprise, to simplified hiring & firing, to audit compliance and event correlation, to single sign-on. Connecting to your existing business applications, databases, and directory structures, we will streamline your environment, reduce operating costs, and satisfy your compliance needs.
