Identity Management
Identity Management is the use of technology and streamlined processes to integrate and securely deliver real-time, role-based resources (cyber and physical) to employees, customers, suppliers and partners. Identity does not just equate to people but all things that are required to facilitate business.
Identity Management is becoming a strategic issue for many organizations. The glut of disconnected information about users and resources has affected productivity, increased support costs and created security and compliance challenges. As entities desire to open up information to customers, suppliers and partners, an inconsistent approach to identity makes this a risky and difficult proposition
The increasing regulations surrounding legislation such as Homeland Security, Sarbanes-Oxley, Gramm-Leach-Bliley and EU Safe Harbor has made this a more pressing issue. Companies must know exactly who has access to what, and how that access should be best managed to increase company security while also increasing constituent satisfaction and decreasing costs.
Typical solutions that arise from Identity Management are:
- Single or Reduced Sign-On
- Role Based Access Control
- Automated provisioning and de-provisioning of digital and physical resources
- Personalized portal solutions
From our experience, companies that are successful in solving identity management have an enterprise approach that involves cross-functional participation and focuses on the requirements of process and policy. This approach is critical to success and both minimizes the overall cost of implementation while maximizes the benefits realized from the effort.
