Sun Is First To Market With Integrated Identity Auditing And User Provisioning SystemSeptember 13, 2006; 04:45 AM
Sun Java System Identity Manager 7.0 is the first to combine user provisioning - the process of creating, updating, and deleting user access across applications and systems - with identity auditing, the process of analyzing applications and systems for identity control violations, notifying corporate compliance officers of violations, and addressing policy exceptions. By combining these capabilities, Sun enables customers to avoid managing two separate processes, bridging the gap between IT security and auditors, internal and external, responsible for compliance with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley. The new offering supports the Solaris 10 Operating System (OS) - the most secure OS on the planet – and extends its market leading security capabilities. This enables control of identities across the operating system, applications, data and physical locations. "Customers need to simplify and automate compliance efforts. These enhancements to Sun's Identity Management Suite make it easier and cheaper for our customers to manage and report compliance with regulatory mandates," said Sara Gates, Vice President of Identity and Web Services at Sun. "We think innovations like this have industry watchers, such as Gartner*, naming Sun as the worldwide marketshare leader in identity management software based on total software revenue." *Gartner Dataquest Market Share: User Provisioning, Worldwide, 2005, Nicole S. Latimer – Livingston, 10 Aug 2006. To read Gartner Group's marketshare information, visit: http://www.gartner.com With the latest version of Java System Identity Manager, enterprises can check and confirm that identities comply with audit policy before the access is provided. Its identity auditing capabilities include automated reviews and proactive scanning to ensure consistent policy enforcement and repeatable processes.
