Identity and Access Management

Today, businesses across the world are facing the same complex security issues- how to allow remote, diverse and flexible access to all IT business functions without compromising security. This involves two diametrically opposing forces- the functionality of open access and the necessity of secure perimeters.

For companies to remain competitive, continuous connectivity is essential. Corporate information is now available in many different mediums: remote access, web based transactions, department to department, and requests from different sub-networks. Whilst all of these IT functions may enhance your business, they also may expose it to additional vulnerabilities.

Ease of Access: Anytime, Anywhere
These remote, diverse means of communications utilise different protocols and access formats making it much more difficult to secure the paths between clients and servers. In addition, to remain compliant, companies are required to know who has access to which systems. This becomes increasingly difficult as employees access rights change over time.

At ITC, our security experts will ensure that whenever access is requested or information is passed, the proper controls are in place to accurately decide whether to authorise the transaction. We will put a comprehensive plan in place, integrating controls from all the different parts of your infrastructure, including:

• Existing directory infrastructure
• Identity management
• Authentication mechanisms
• VPN
• Web access
• PKI
• User account provisioning

Err on the Side of Caution
Your most valuable asset is information. Multiple access points increase the risk to your network, so end to end security is paramount. Often security concerns are not given as much weight as commercially driven business goals. Many companies fail to err on the side of caution. Underestimating these security threats can compromise the integrity of your network.

ITC can help you understand the potential risks facing your business. After reviewing your requirements, we will design and implement the right controls accordingly, based on a clearly defined, compliant-based policy. Our consultants are experts in the field of security and deploy only state-of-the-art technology and secure solutions to enable your business to operate unhindered, minimising both cost and risk.

Information access is the turnstile of business. The key is to ensure the smooth flow of this information whilst closely monitoring who is entering and leaving, as well as what data is being passed through the gates. Simple firewall based control is now insufficient; lacking the flexibility to control all access points.

At ITC, our team has designed and implemented successful solutions for some of the most complex deployments, delivering hard and tangible business benefits. Find out more by getting in touch for a no-obligation and confidential discussion on 020 7517 3900.
