Simplified, Secure Access

Users are increasingly mobile and accustomed to working without boundaries.

From employees and suppliers to partners and customers, your growing user base wants easy access to your information so they can remain productive. At the same time, they expect their data and transactions to be completely secure. Further complicating matters, network connectivity has expanded beyond the physical and the virtual to include the cloud with growing use of SaaS.

Novell helps you simplify identity and access management by:

  • Providing single sign-on capabilities to enterprise, Web and SaaS applications
  • Boosting security with stronger passwords and integration with advanced security systems
  • Supporting trusted exchanges through federation

Novell solutions facilitate trusted-user access to resources across your network with single sign-on. Users log in to your network just once and are authenticated for the appropriate applications, portals, databases and systems. Without having to juggle multiple passwords, users get to work faster and stay productive as long as they are logged in. Single sign-on also sharply decreases helpdesk calls, freeing your IT team from the drudgery of resetting passwords and significantly reducing operating costs.

As security concerns have escalated, so too has the need for safer passwords. With single sign-on, users choose one strong password, which streamlines your enterprise-wide policy. Password lists that users once kept in their wallets or desk drawers to access multiple applications are no longer necessary. And the single sign-on process creates a more unified view of electronic identities, making compliance easier than ever.

Novell solutions also increase security by integrating stronger password policies with systems that provide authentication using advanced methods such as fingerprinting, smart cards and retina scans. This powerful combination strengthens policy controls as enterprises move beyond physical and virtual environments and into the cloud.

In addition, our Identity and Access Management solutions grant appropriate access to all users (e.g. employees, contractors, partners, customers) and safeguard resources. Trusted users receive secure authentication and access to portals, Web-based content and enterprise applications. Meanwhile, IT administrators gain centralized, policy-based management of authentication and access privileges.

Our technologies allow you to share identity information among trusted external sources to provide a unified user experience and tight security—a process known as federation. You can seamlessly integrate different organizations and their users with your organization, and changes in identities and rights are respected across organizational domains.
