In the era <strong>of</strong> big data, mobile, cloud, and social media,<br />
identity and access management (IAM) has become a<br />
significant challenge for many organizations. Add on<br />
heightened threats, strict regulatory requirements, and<br />
a growing and demanding population <strong>of</strong> business users,<br />
securing access and enabling trusted interactions between<br />
users and resources can feel like a never ending<br />
game <strong>of</strong> whack-a-mole. The RSA Identity Management<br />
and Governance (IMG) solution helps organizations<br />
transform IAM into an enabler for a faster and more<br />
secure network by taking aim at three key ways in which<br />
organizations can deliver a strong Identity Management<br />
program:<br />
1. Identity Lifecycle Management — Streamlined selfservice<br />
user registration allows users to create accounts<br />
and choose access rights for themselves, new employees<br />
and contractors. The UI automatically enforces policies<br />
while suggesting entitlements based on similar users.<br />
Automated approval workflows and provisioning<br />
ensures that user access is delivered rapidly, while maintaining<br />
compliance with process and policy requirements.<br />
2. Data Access Governance. – With an increase in both<br />
data breaches and compliance requirements, it is critical<br />
to extend access governance to data as well as applications.<br />
RSA IMG is designed to provide ubiquitous support<br />
across all major file systems, providing one place to<br />
centrally manage and govern the access to all data. RSA<br />
IMG leverages identity context and data attributes (such<br />
as user access frequency) to establish a line-<strong>of</strong>-business<br />
owner for data resources.<br />
