Identity, Credential + Access Management

Enabling authorization and authentication security services to improve information assurance and streamline information sharing within the enterprise and beyond

As Information Technology (IT) continues to increase in complexity, many organizations struggle with the management headaches associated with an overabundance of application-specific user accounts and access controls. This problem is further complicated by today’s mobile workforce and the need to access critical information anywhere, and anytime.

External threats such as malware, phishing, and vishing create an environment where proper selection of Identity and Access Management solutions is critical. Organizations are now working to establish unified, robust, and enterprise-wide user authorization and authentication frameworks to enable streamlined access without compromising the security that more sensitive applications and data demand.
