Overview
Today’s business trends are heading one direction – increased need to be compliant with new regulations, rapid proliferation of users and devices, more distributed applications and data, a rise in internet-based service provisioning. Managing all of this information and the users who access is a formidable challenge to organizations. It is also an opportunity for leading organizations to gain competitive advantage and outpace their competition.
According to Gartner:
- Enterprises have an average of 68 external and 12 internal account stores.
- 75% of internal users and 38% of external users are in multiple account stores.
- Password resets cost between $57 and $147 and this makes up 48% of all helpdesk calls.
- Users are provisioned to an average of 16 different accounts, but at termination are deprovisioned from only 10.
Many CIOs are facing serious challenges related to Identity and Access Management (IDA) and Identity Lifecycle Management (ILM). It's not only about the critical nature of information security, but it's also about swiftly enabling authorized users with access to company resources.
You may be experiencing painful burdens associated with having costly or inefficient management of users' identities - their accounts, passwords and access credentials. If you’re user environment is one where passwords are written on sticky notes, the IT staff manually handles every facet of account creation, and there are seemingly interminable delays in account provisioning and deprovisioning, you are primed to realize tremendous benefit from the right Identity and Access Management solution.
Identity and Access Management is the process and technology associated with creating and maintaining system-identities for each discrete person or device that needs access to corporate information systems and applications. It includes provisioning of those access requirements, integration with existing directory services, single sign-on, centrally controlled authentication and access policies, the federation of identities across the organization, plus auditable reporting across the enterprise.
