While there has been a lot talk about federated ID and single-sign-on (SSO), the true need has only been realized recently through Application Access Manager.

Although companies originally sought to integrate internal applications and services into centralized identity management systems to simplify management, the problems of the past have been eliminated. However, cloud computing and mobile device technology are disruptive innovations that have forced us to rethink how to create a successful Application Access Management. Management of users in cloud computing and mobile resources that aren’t part of the corporate network is more complicated than simply changing Identity Management models.

New risks mean that organizations have to adapt how they handle authentication authorization and auditing (AAA). Companies seek to increase their user’s capabilities by using cloud service providers. However, they must also maintain security, policy management, compliance, and security. To implement a cloud security program, you cannot use the same old tool. You should treat cloud services like your own internal systems. CyberArk’s Application access Manager helps to expand the identity- and access management capabilities of these new cloud models. This will allow for smooth transitions.

CyberArk’s Application Access Manager makes it easy to capture, record, manage, and automate user identities and access permissions. This offers the following benefits to organizations:

  • Access privileges will be granted after the policy is approved. All persons or services must be properly authenticated and authorized.
  • Companies that have a proper management of identities have more control over user access and reduce the risk to internal and external data breaches.
  • AAM automation allows businesses to work more efficiently because it reduces the amount of effort, time and money needed to manually manage access.
  • AAM frameworks are a great security tool that can help enforce user authentication, validation and privileges policies, as well as address concerns related to privilege theft.

CyberArk’s AAM helps companies comply better with government regulations by allowing the company to show that it is not misused. Companies can also prove that the data needed for audits can be obtained on request.

The application access manager gives you immediate access to multiple systems. Certain situations are where it’s useful to allow employees access to multiple applications and systems with a single login. With one-time authentication, employees can access both market research data and customer database. This authentication type does not grant full access permission to all applications and information within a company. AAM software controls established authorization rules, and gives access based only on the individual’s identification. Techcloudpro has a deep understanding of CyberArk’s AAM cloud framework. This hybrid cloud framework can be deployed quickly and easily through a single portal.
