One of Iknow's core strengths is identity management, access management, and team and role-based security.
Because we operate in an increasingly “on demand” economy, rapid and easy access to information is an important driver of business success. Unfortunately, organizations today are wrestling with the challenge of managing secure access to content and applications that are scattered across their internal and external systems. Additionally, these organizations have to provide access to a continually changing user population, covering employees, customers, suppliers, and partners, without harming security or divulging sensitive information.
Identity management is the foundation for how secure services are enabled, provisioned, managed, and delivered. The building blocks of an identity management system include user authentication, password synchronization, single sign-on (SSO), user entitlement, secure communications, and access management. Access management software lets administrators centrally control user access, enabling SSO through a policy server that grants authorization rights to Web-based applications and services. An effective access management system incorporates one or more methods of authentication to verify the user, including passwords, digital certificates, or hardware or software tokens.
Business value from identity and access management and content security is achieved from internal operating efficiencies and from increasing the security of intellectual assets. Identity management is an important issue from an IT operations perspective because the per-user identity management costs are significant, the potential security exposure from orphaned accounts is great, and long delays in access fulfillment can negatively impact the user community.
While operational issues are important, content security may be even a more critical issue. More and more of a company’s intellectual assets are being stored electronically and, in our opinion, organizations have not invested the time and energy to protect the knowledge assets that are available on their various intranets, extranets, portals, and exchange systems. From a content security perspective, companies need to establish explicit read, copy, and edit rights for every type of content available in the organization.
Iknow has deep expertise in managing all phases of identity and access management and content security projects, from gathering initial business requirements through system design, development, and deployment. We have worked on projects of various sizes and scopes that improved and automated identity management business processes and satisfied regulatory requirements, resulting in lower costs, a more secure posture, passed audits, enhanced IT service levels, and a better user experience.
