Integrated Provisioning and SSO - Zero Day Provisioning, Increased Security and Compliance


PROBLEM STATEMENT

Corporate computing environments are becoming more complex. The presence of innumerable applications in a large computing environment coupled with the presence of knowledge workers working from within the organization and remote, the issues related to of timely resource access/revocation are plenty.

There is also the issue of productivity wherein a new user joining an organization has to wait for numerous approvals and IT related issues to enable them to access the resources. This delay causes a lot of money in terms of lost productivity. Inability to scale Identity Management operations involving legacy or custom application servers can be a real pain. Industries seek out the best fit to meet their requirements at a given point in time. But as their workforce expands, organizations begin to feel the need to scale up their Identity Management infrastructure.

There have been lots of cases of application identities not being removed from the IT systems for more than 2 years of employees leaving the organization. Orphan accounts in enterprises have become the primary target of social engineering attacks.


SOLUTION

Apere offers a solution to these problems. With industry-standard and cutting-edge Identity Management solutions, Apere's low-cost and highly effective, easy-to-use Identity Management Access Gateway (IMAG), enables you to directly connect to a wide variety of applications, ensuring that while you do not need to throw out something that works just fine, you achieve significantly greater ROI in a much shorter span of time.

  • Users never have to be given starting application passwords to individual applications, increasing application security.
  • Users don't have to search through emails looking for passwords, increasing productivity and eliminating password-related help desk calls.
  • Single sign-on credentials are guaranteed to always be in sync with application credentials.
