What is access management?

Access management protects applications and the data behind them by ensuring the right user has access to the right resource at the right level of trust. You can control access by setting granular policies so authorised individuals can do their jobs efficiently and effectively. You can monitor user access permissions and the risks associated with each login, applying step-up authentication only when the user’s context changes and the level of risk is concerning. Access management can make life easier for workers, hiring managers, IT teams, and CISOs.

Why use access management?

Do you know who accessed what and when? Or how their identity was verified? By default, user identities are distributed among cloud applications, virtual environments, networks and web portals. With no central Identity Access Management (IAM) strategy, businesses of all sizes lose precious security and productivity.

Why do we need access management?

  • Without access management, organisations become increasingly vulnerable to data breaches arising from compromised identities.
  • IT administration overheads rise due to inefficient identity management procedures
  • User productivity drops due to password fatigue and password resets
  • Lack of visibility into cloud access events impedes regulatory compliance

How do Cloud access management solutions address these challenges?

Enable secure cloud adoption in the enterprise through:

  • Simplified cloud access with cloud single sign on (cloud SSO)
  • Optimised security with granular access policies
  • Scalability enabled by centralised management
  • Improved compliance through visibility into cloud access events

 

Do you have secure access to all your cloud services?

 

With no central access management strategy, organisations face increasing management, productivity, and security complexities.

You can scale in the cloud easily and securely with access management from Thales.
