DetectIT - User Profile Manager
The Challenge
Businesses operating in today’s dynamic economies are subject to increasing compliance regulations (Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI, Basel II, HIPAA) and information security standards (ISO27002, CobiT). As a result, the control of user passwords and access rights to business data and information has become a key focus of IT security policy.
Any such user controls must strike a balance between protecting information from unauthorised users and enabling authorised users to remain productive. This is increasingly important as more than 70% of security breaches come from employees, whether in error or malicious. Compliance regulations are forcing the business to report on who has access to what, where and when - making manual management of user rights a huge resource burden on the IT department and help desk.
The Solution
Safestone’s DetectIT User Profile Manager is a powerful user administration tool providing flexibility to easily manage profiles and passwords across the whole of your System i environment. By controlling the user lifecycle and only allowing access to system resources relevant to their role, security is significantly enhanced. Streamlining user administration opens the door for increased user productivity, which in turn brings considerable cost savings to the business.
- Makes sure the right people always have access to the right information: profile management controls ensure the right users are given the right level of access to applications, objects and files.
- Helps institute best practice standards for access controls: all best practice security standards (including ISO27002, CobiT) require the implementation of access control methodology as part of responsible IT governance.
- Distribution of user management tasks: ability to delegate profile and password management duties to departmental managers and administrators.
- Pay attention to powerful users: add extra layers of menu control, even over the most powerful users.
- Promotes good password management practices: select password strength rules and eliminate easy to guess passwords.
- Prevents unauthorized system usage: restricts out of hours access and enforces custom authentication policies.
