IAM needs will only grow as devices, servers, and end points continue to increase . Current schemes are not sustainable as the number of IDs will explode. Environment is heterogeneous, and constantly adding new systems including Cloud. Our solution offers a platform where a user gets an individual user ID on a system - but only if they need it, when they need it, for only as long as they need it . Reusable ID scheme reduces the number of IDs in the system yielding cost savings on lifecycle management activities, improved security compliance . A compliance readiness platform can be enabled to prevent, flag, or monitor questionable access in or near real-time . Provide easily accessible logs to prove compliance policies.
