Novell SecureLogin

Enforced Compliance

SecureLogin is your password to compliance. Overcome the challenges of complying with legislation—such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, HIPAA and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act—by enforcing corporate security policies and restricting users' access to network data.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (Sarbox) is a prime example of an information disclosure regulation that must be satisfied in order to stay in business. In order to fulfill Sarbox requirements, publicly traded companies must generate accurate financial reports. Furthermore, they must enable auditors to understand and prove to auditors that the company reliably initiates, authorizes, records, processes and reports on its financial data.

A company's ability to address these requirements is closely linked to the security and access controls defined for its information technology infrastructure and business applications, as these enable the financial reporting process and related activities. Any unauthorized access to the financial data stored and processed on computer systems and applications can threaten the company's ability to comply with Sarbox.

Novell SecureLogin plays an essential role in Sarbox compliance because it enables organizations to control access to network resources—based on company policies and user profiles—with a single, secure password or using advanced authentication methods, such as smart cards, tokens and biometrics.
