Discuss This Solution Explore Related Use Cases

  1. The Challenge

    Scattered accounts, weak passwords and access that outlives the need for it.

  2. The Approach

    Single sign-on, MFA, automated provisioning and controlled privileged access.

  3. The Intended Result

    The right people with the right access, granted and removed on time.

Overview

What Is Identity and Access Management (IAM)?

Central control of who can access which systems, with strong sign-in and access that changes as people join, move and leave.

The Need

  • Accounts and access spread across many systems
  • Passwords that are reused, weak or shared
  • Access that stays in place after people change roles or leave

The Approach

  • Centralize sign-in with single sign-on and MFA
  • Automate access as people join, move and leave
  • Control and review privileged and third-party access

Assumptions and Dependencies

  • An authoritative source of people data, such as HR
  • An inventory of key applications
  • Agreed roles and access policies

Key Challenges

The problems that most often lead organizations to look at identity and access management.

  • Scattered Accounts: Each system has its own accounts, so access is hard to see and control.
  • Password Risk: Weak and reused passwords are a common cause of breaches.
  • Slow Joiner and Leaver Changes: Access is granted late for new staff and removed late for leavers.
  • Unchecked Privileged Access: Administrator and supplier accounts often have more access than they need.

Solution Fit

Signs that identity and access management is likely to help, and what to check before you start.

  • Business Owners: Security and IT leaders, HR and people operations and application owners.
  • Typical Triggers: An audit finding about access, a move to cloud applications and a security incident involving stolen credentials.
  • Environment: Cloud and on-premises applications and directories and employees, contractors, partners and suppliers.
  • Fit and Dependencies: Works best with HR as the source of truth for people data and results depend on application integration and agreed roles.

Planning Considerations

Points to review early, so the work is scoped accurately.

  • The source of truth for people data
  • Applications to connect, and how they support single sign-on
  • Privileged, service and shared accounts
  • Contractor, partner and supplier access
  • User communication and support during rollout
  • Engagement model and ongoing support
