Identity and Security Management

IT is the oil in your well-maintained corporate machine.

Unfortunately, inefficient practices, poor information flow, and isolated policies are like sand in an engine—they complicate even simple functions and threaten your “corporate” machine’s ability to work properly. The result is out-of-alignment IT policies, spiraling costs, and increased risk of litigation, loss, theft and fines.

Novell can help. Our Identity Management and Security solutions help you simplify governance so your business can run like it’s supposed to: a well-oiled machine.

The key to making governance an asset rather than a liability is the automation and simplification you get from a true security management solution. You need a simple way to ensure that business policy drives your technological goals, rather than your business goals being set by the limitations of your technology.

Benefits of Automated Simplicity

Simplifying governance means reducing the burden on your staff by automating repetitive processes. An automated security management system will eliminate hundreds of tedious manual tasks. This translates directly into cost savings because you’re reducing the number of hours required to equip users with the right equipment and the appropriate access rights. As an added bonus, by making access rights dependent on your business policies, governance is no longer restricted by software capabilities. In short, simplicity puts governance in the hands of the people who know what their employees need. You will no longer have departments creating business policies for your users based on software parameters instead of company objectives.

Simplicity = Automation + Integration

Our solutions deliver a set of policy-driven components that automate security and resource management tasks. Automation and policy integration ensure that your business policies are enforced consistently. Our solutions work together to address the variety of management problems that your IT department faces, allowing you to spend your time and resources on what really matters to you—growing your business.

Your organization’s security is no joke—and nobody laughs when important information is compromised.

Your business’s security is a top priority—it’s hard to get the right people, the right level of access at the right time while keeping the wrong people out. And if you erect too many barriers to protect your company’s assets, you can actually impede productivity. Access management software lets you control everything efficiently. See how we can help you balance security and productivity with Identity Management and Security solutions from Novell.

If you’re worried about your company’s security, you aren’t always focusing on growing its influence. It doesn’t have to be that way, and we can show you why.

Solutions That Are Stronger than Threats

Security risks come in all forms from all areas—internal and external, malicious and accidental. From rogue privileged users and administrators, to passwords written on sticky notes or employees with excessive access rights. Anything that loosens your security posture can be a risk to your system. That’s why Novell has developed solutions that are stronger than the threats you face every day. So no matter what is threatening your enterprise—from insecure web applications to multiple and weak passwords—our Identity Management and Security solutions will help you fight the risks that jeopardize your company’s well being.

Reducing the Risk of Too Much Risk

There will always be risk. Someone will always be trying to get to your important information. And mistakes are bound to happen. But you can have more control than you think over how much risk you’re willing to tolerate. Our solutions give you the confidence to keep risk at a minimum and productivity at a maximum. With features like automated resource and access allocation, dynamic incident response, single sign-on, auditing and compliance tools, our products and solutions bring you the latest in identity and security management—so you can reduce the risk of having too much risk.

It doesn’t matter what industry your business competes in—there are always regulations that you must comply with or face penalties, fees and restrictions

Complying with government and industry regulations is often a necessary evil. But, like trips to the dentist, you have to do it no matter how badly you don’t want to. So why not find a way to do it that won’t consume all your staff hours or budget? It is possible, and with Identity Management and Security from Novell, it can even be accomplished quickly and efficiently. And once you’re sure you’ll be able to fully comply with any audit that comes your way—internal or external—we know you’ll be able to focus on what’s really important, running your business.

Does your audit trail feel like trail mix? Does it have a little of this and a little of that, but lack a complete picture of what’s actually happening in your business?

Don’t worry—we can help you bring all those disparate elements together to keep your business on the path to complete compliance. From rock-solid access management software to security management to quick and painless user provisioning, Novell makes compliance efficient and easy to prove.

It doesn’t matter what you’re trying to comply with. If you don’t have correct procedures in place and processes to report on those procedures, your chances of passing internal and external audits aren’t very good.

We support your compliance efforts throughout the entire enterprise, from the desktop to the data center.
