Novell Access Governance Suite

Extended business access governance

No matter how often your users and their roles change, you can have extended access governance based on business policy. Our solutions automate manual processes and validation procedures so you can do what you do best instead of managing user accounts.

The Problem

We know that governing access to information resources can be an uphill battle. You need to make sure that users can do their jobs and that partners and customers can access the resources they need, but roles change so quickly that granting access is increasingly risky and costly.

You have to maintain service levels and get the right information to the right people, but what is “right” changes constantly. Dealing with those constant changes turns your IT staff and line-of-business managers into account watchdogs. They're busy, but they’re not adding value to your core objectives. Without a system that is as flexible and dynamic as your business, you can't ensure correct access control and compliance.

The Solution

Novell Access Governance Suite gives you the access control you need by automating access-related processes and by automatically and consistently enforcing policy across the enterprise. Our solution effectively aligns business policies with the processes that implement them, so not only can you be sure policies are followed, but you can also have complete visibility into who has access to what.

This approach empowers everyone involved in access control—from line-of-business managers to IT staff to compliance officers. They’ll have the comprehensive oversight and management tools they need to make IT work as one in support of business goals.

For example you can:

• Reduce risk: Our automated approach for managing access eliminates error-prone manual procedures.
• Gain complete access control: Our solution helps IT security teams manage constant changes to user access requirements while speeding up access delivery.
• Govern enterprise policies across IT policy domains: Now you can enforce enterprise security business rules while allowing business unit-specific access policies.
