Identity Management Roadmap
AegisUSA Identity Software (AIS) is a patent pending set of technologies and business processes that allow for successful administration, authentication, authorization, audit and management of online digital identities. This architecture is driven by industry defined standards and best practices in order to ensure that our customers are able to reduce existing costs, avoid new costs and extend new revenue channels. This architecture consists of six specific disciplines: Directory Services, Identity Integration, Access Control, Provisioning, Compliance, and Federated & Web Identity Integration. Additionally, AegisUSA provides Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) expertise supporting complete IdM solutions.
Leveraging an IdM-centric Roadmap allows the ability to make thorough strategic assessments of an existing infrastructure, determine exposure to risk of monetary loss, and then provide an actionable plan to quickly, realistically build a secure and profitable IdM architecture. Our products and business processes are specifically designed to accelerate deployments, increase flexibility within a company’s infrastructure, and maximize ROI for our clients.
The components of the assessment include:
Directory Services
Assess effectiveness of existing schema, high availability, synchronization processes, existing tools and product choices, administration and supporting infrastructure.
Identity Integration
Assess application infrastructure, common API structures, security of passing authentication and authorization credentials, application middleware functionality and security technology diversity.
Access Control
Assess effectiveness of tools and processes associated with enrollments, decommissioning, and routine support, best practices for SOD and RBAC infrastructure, and change control processes related to security deployment.
Provisioning
Assess for effectiveness of provisioning processes and integrity of provisioning sources of record, opportunities for cross application provisioning and reporting workflow and audit capability.
Compliance
Assess for effectiveness of existing technology infrastructure versus standard deployments to yield a GAP analysis, IT controls to support regulatory compliance and a unified reporting view.
Federated & Web Identity Integration
Assess for effectiveness of existing authentication and authorization services, self-provision tools and processes, external security requirements for remote access by vendors, partners, customers, students, etc… and assess routing and support requirements for extranets.
Service Oriented Architecture
A flexible, standardized architecture is required to better support the connection of various applications and the sharing of data. SOA is one such architecture. It unifies business processes by structuring large applications as an ad-hoc collection of smaller modules called services.
