Traditionally, IT has used static organisational
directories such as Microsoft Active Directory
to provision and de-provision users. This results
in the manual maintenance of roles and privileges,
which can be time-consuming, expensive and inaccurate
with system security ultimately compromised.
Identity Management addresses these shortcomings
and introduces an agile, business-centric security
model that enforces regulatory and policy compliance.
This reduces complexity and saves organisations
money and headaches in the long run.
In a nutshell, Identify Management is able tell the
organisation who its users are, what they have access
to, who approved that access and what they are doing
with that access.
Essentially, IDM automates user provisioning and
puts an end to “I forgot my password” syndrome
and brings sanity to access management across the
enterprise. The technology broadly allows organisations
to achieve the following benefits:
Information Security and Compliance
Security Policy Management
Password Management (Recovery and Policy)
Single Sign-On
Non-repudiation
Privacy
Auditing
Authorisation and Access
