Identity Assurance Solution
Dynamic, Demonstrable Compliance
When you need to prove, track, automate, and verify your security policies, Novell Identity Manager is your best friend. You won't need to worry about Sarbanes-Oxley or similar government regulations, because Novell Identity Manager logs and tracks all user access for auditing purposes. This audit trail makes it much easier to track down breaches in security should they ever occur, and provides solid confirmation that only authorized users have access to sensitive information and systems.
Former employees are a common security risk for any enterprise, but Identity Manager eliminates this chronic concern. The moment an employee's status is changed to "dismissed" in the human resources database or any other authoritative source, resource access is automatically rescinded. Your confidential resources remain safe.
Of course, while only the right people should have access to your information, you must also be able to prove that this is so. An auditable identity management solution is a critical component of any regulatory compliance plan. Fortunately, Identity Manager includes Novell Audit Starter Pack capabilities for centralized logging of all identity-management activities. Pre-configured reports include a list of all users with access to a particular system, and of all resources provided to any user. Novell Identity Manager can also issue alerts when inappropriate access is granted. You can act immediately to protect your company from costly security breaches and litigation.
