Identity & Access Management (IAM)
Leaving nothing to chance with digital identities
A company's economic development thrives or fails based on its ability to adapt its corporate processes quickly and efficiently to new situations and opportunities. The challenge consists in meeting the demands of ever-changing markets. In addition to that, company-wide business processes are the way of the future. Another important aspect is that legal requirements about risk management and the protection of privacy are becoming increasingly stringent and must be taken into account. In view of increasingly complex application and system environments, these requirements can only be met in a secure and flexible manner if all components have access to joint identities.
Identity and Access Management (IAM) Systems reduce the large number of passwords and personal information users need to access applications, resources and IT systems by bundling them in one single digital identity wherever possible.
In order to handle business processes efficiently and securely, it is paramount to manage these identities centrally and to automatically link them to the corresponding rights (provisioning). An essential requirement for secure business processes is the unequivocal authentication of employees and business partners who want to access corporate resources.
Identity Management thus revolves around processes and technologies enabling users to safely access data and systems. One problem is that many real-life corporate processes have different needs regarding safety, management and user authentication.
