Security Starts with Identity

It all starts with administration. The challenge is ensuring that access and permissions for all users, to all systems and all resources are accurate and appropriate.

What you’re up against

Automating identity administration is critical. However, if you can’t manage user accounts and enterprise-wide entitlements securely and quickly, your organization is at risk and productivity will suffer. Plus, you need to consider the expense and the time wasted by your IT staff resetting user passwords, provisioning accounts, and manually managing permissions. Those hours could be reallocated to enhancing business capabilities and efficiencies.

How this affects you

Managing accounts and access keeps your organization productive and compliant with industry and government regulations. The process is often complex, difficult and involves too many people. Plus, you face expensive and potentially embarrassing results if you are unable to quickly terminate access when someone leaves or changes roles. You feel its effects in your elevated stress level, wasted time and knowing that your productivity is suffering. And, how does this all fit into your cloud strategy? Are you being forced to compromise on security or functionality to go cloud-first?

What if you could

Quickly, securely and compliantly provide the proper level of access the first time, regardless of whether your user is joining, moving or leaving? What if you could unify and centralize policies across the enterprise? What if you could reduce IT time invested in menial password-reset tasks by implementing user self-service capabilities? What if you could enable line-of-business managers to make access decisions without IT involvement? What if you could automate provisioning and password management to any system, platform or application? And what if you could do this in the way you want – cloud, hybrid, or on-prem with no compromise? With One Identity, you can.

The goal is governance. But the challenge is ensuring that access for all users, to all systems is accurate and appropriate – and all identity decisions and actions follow policies and can be proven when necessary.

Governing access (all types of access and all types of users – employees, third-parties, privileged, users and even non-human users) is critical. Having visibility, control and reporting on access is mandatory, but there’s risk at every turn – internally and externally. Discovering and mitigating these risks is a perpetually moving target that is extremely difficult to keep centered in one’s sight. Too often, governance efforts are one-off compliance activities, blind attestation or siloed tasks that only solve a small part of the problem.

You struggle to determine who has access to what resources in your hybrid on-prem and cloud environment. And it’s even more difficult to answer the question of whether the entitlements users have to systems, applications, and data are even what they are supposed to have. Compliance demands it, but that doesn’t make it any easier. All this not-knowing adds undue stress on you and your team. And, how does this all fit into your cloud strategy? Are you being forced to compromise on security or functionality to go cloud-first?

Govern identities and access for all classes of users for your on-prem, hybrid and cloud environments with unified identity security platform? What if you could satisfy audit and compliance initiatives, and easily provide management with a clear view into your governance posture? What if you could satisfy attestation and recertification requirements with ease while providing auditors all they need without burdensome effort? What if you could view a compliance dashboard with the status of attestations and detailed heat maps for reporting needs? What if you could mitigate risk and unify access to internal accounts, external accounts, privileged accounts, data and applications with the same tools and the same security stance? And what if you could do this in the way you want – cloud, hybrid, or on-prem with no compromise? With One Identity you can.

Privileged accounts are a necessity. But the challenge is ensuring that they are protected, monitored and used only when necessary.

What you’re up against

Securing privileged accounts is essential. If you can’t ensure that only the people that need to access them can, and only with just the right level pf entitlements to do their job, you put your organization at risk. You know you need to put some rules and controls in place, but you don’t want it to impede daily management of your infrastructure or stand in the way of achieving business objectives. And most efforts to implement PAM are incomplete, cumbersome, and extremely complex and costly to own. 

How this affects you

You don’t have the time or the budget to address every privileged account and every privileged user (including non-human users) on a point-by point basis, and the overhead to implement typical PAM solutions if simply too high. And, how does this all fit into your cloud strategy? Are you being forced to compromise on security or functionality to go cloud-first?

What if you could

Provide privileged users (of all types) with just the right amount of access to do their jobs at the time that they need it? What if you could detect and stop internal and external threats, and achieve true governance of privileged accounts across your entire enterprise – on-prem, hybrid of cloud? And what if you could do all of this in a timely, transparent, frictionless and cost-effective manner while satisfying the needs of admins and auditors? And what if you could do this in the way you want – cloud, hybrid, or on-prem with no compromise? Only with One Identity and our unified identity security platform is all of this within reach.

Active Directory is a great place to start your journey to security.

For many organizations, the most challenging system on which to implement IAM is a hybrid Active Directory environment.

What you’re up against

Managing AD and AAD accounts, objects and groups is a cumbersome and error-prone task, and it is often the barrier to achieving more advanced objectives, such as privileged access management, and identity governance and administration (IGA). Native tools are insufficient, manual processes are inefficient and enterprise IAM solutions rarely make it easy to do what is right for AD.

How this affects you

You spend all your efforts simply managing all your AD account processes, which is serious drag on efficiency. Native tools are insufficient for managing critical admin access for AD and AAD. And until those foundational needs are met, your organization is in no position to address more impactful and higher-level IAM functions, such as IGA and PAM.

What if you could

Make the most of your current investment in AD and AAD; automate and centralize administration and security for accounts, groups and objects; extend that value to non-windows systems and many cloud applications; and augment these account management capabilities to deliver efficiency, enhanced data accuracy, and near elimination of manually executed tasks? With One Identity’s unified identity security platform you can!
