An identity and access management solution is not a luxury but a necessity. Today, data breaches have increased exponentially, especially due to cloud computing and remote work. Many companies store vast amounts of workload and share a variety of applications both on-premises and in the cloud.

Thus, it is essential for organizations to adopt practices and tools that prevent threats and enhance operational efficiency. Identity and access management solutions help securely manage users’ digital identities.

IAM solutions establish parameters in the system to detect anomalous activities that might go unnoticed otherwise, control the use of privileged access, and create an effective security infrastructure.

ManageEngine offers its IAM (Identity Access Management) solution, which encompasses three key components:

• Identification
• Authentication
• Authorization

Advantages of implementing IAM

Effectively manages the identities of remote users

• Enables Single Sign-On (SSO) for fast and secure access to corporate resources.
• Implements Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to strengthen security.

Protects your hybrid cloud infrastructure

• Monitors network traffic and provides detailed visibility into the offline-online environment.
• Develops cross-platform risk profiles and enables adaptive access to resources based on strict contextual authentication.

Adopts Zero Trust to protect the expanding network perimeter

• Verifies each user, employee, contractor, and respective endpoint before establishing trust.
• Makes informed decisions regarding data, people, devices, workloads, and networks.

Monitors privileged access pathways to mission-critical assets in your network

• Applies precise access restrictions, as well as request-based approval workflows for privileged accounts.

Achieves double control over privileged access

• Monitors sessions in real time and detects anomalies.
• Effectively reduces permanent privileges and the proliferation of privileged accounts through just-in-time provisioning of privilege elevation for domain accounts.

Prevents IT disruptions 

• Automates laborious routines such as provisioning and password reset.
• Provides your staff with seamless identity self-service for both on-premises and cloud applications.

Ensures regulatory compliance

• Full control of sensitive information and how it is shared.
• Build and maintain a robust IT security framework to meet data privacy regulatory requirements.

Integrates with other components of the IT management infrastructure

• Achieves holistic correlation of privileged access data with overall network data to obtain meaningful insights and faster solutions.
