Features and Benefits
The Identity Assurance solution is designed to work seamlessly with your existing physical security and PKI environment and delivers the following benefits:- One card for access: You can integrate physical and logical access controls and know who is where, doing what.
- Centralized administration: You can eliminate the need for multiple, disparate administration tools and reduce the time and cost associated with managing user access.
- Simplified and consistent user experience: Whether your users are connected or disconnected, you can enforce a consistent authentication experience with a smart card.
- Accessibility without vulnerability: You can grant secure, hassle-free access to physical locations as well as Web and enterprise applications based on the user's role.
- Unprecedented freedom: A simple, highly customizable framework allows you to connect to a wide variety of systems based on open standards.
Moreover, the Identity Assurance solution frees your IT staff by reducing both password related maintenance and smart card provisioning costs. You can meet strong, multi-factor authentication requirements, and will have the documentation and processes in place to prove it. And the solution helps you keep costs down because you can use the components already in place in your current PKI infrastructure, card management system and access control systems.
The Identity Assurance solution from Novell is fully integrated with Novell Identity Manager and meets FIPS 201 workflow, identity management, and card life cycle requirements. Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cards issued using this solution enable users to have physical and logical access to facilities and IT systems with appropriate audit controls. This solution enables convergence of IT and physical systems to provide a seamless end-to-end control system. It also provides an easily customizable workflow template for the approval and revocation processes. By utilizing the power of integrated data and workflows, Identity Assurance Solution improves efficiency, allowing managers to focus on key decisions and projects rather than on the details of identity management.
