You may think you had solved the authentication and authorization problem with your legacy Web Access Management tool and Active Directory. However, traditional IT patterns have been breaking as cloud computing and BYOD have forced organizations to mature their approach to authentication and authorization. Our Access Management practice can help you regain centralized visibility and control of your users, devices, networks, and applications and how they interact with each other.
There are dozens of vendor solutions, each tackling a different part of the larger problem. Integral Partners can help you navigate the critical decisions and choose the right Access Management solution, including technical assessment/analysis, strategy planning, roadmapping, implementation, and adoption.
Evaluate your organization, workflow, and processes needs and
identify the right tools to help
When choosing single sign-on (SSO) applications, identity providers
(IdP), and similar solutions, it’s critical to look carefully at which
tools work best for your specific user cases and environment. Our
experienced advisors look at what access management capabilities you
require and recommend the best-fit solutions. We help you navigate
your RFP and vendor selection process, map the right use cases to
vendor capabilities, and craft a deployment plan.
Use our experience to help put vendor statements in context
One of the most common questions we hear is whether licensing Okta is
worth the cost when Azure provides some of the Access Management
features desired. Is going with Okta the best way to avoid vendor
lock-in? Or perhaps the deep contextual access features that Microsoft
offers for its own products are a must have. We have helped clients
make this decision through use case analysis and a vendor neutral
weighing of features. We can help bridge the gap between the different
perspectives in your organization and provide our expert neutral
advice.
Let us help you bootstrap your Access Management Program
Do you need an AME but don’t know where to start? Or maybe you want to
update your tooling and need to know which use cases are relevant for
your Identity Governance tools and which for your Access Management
tools.
We can help you build out a strategy and roadmap for your Access Management program, highlighting gaps in the current state and providing recommendations for meeting your organization’s security and user experience goals.
We embed ourselves in your team to share our expertise without
getting in the way
Sometimes you have the right people in house to implement an Access
Management solution but are not sure of the best approach. We can help
you design it correctly from the start, through collaborative
whiteboard sessions and use case analysis. We can also provide your
team with artifacts to get them going, such as reference applications
and code samples using vendor libraries. This way, your team can get
started quickly and avoid spinning their wheels.
We evaluate your organization, workflow, processes, and tools to
help you develop a successful AME strategy and roadmap
Implementing an access management solution can be complex if you don’t
understand the tool and the ecosystem around it. We can handle all
phases of a deployment, from building out architecture to phased
onboarding to aggregating users. We’re experienced at deploying
iterative, phased authentication and authorization solutions,
including WAM, SSO, MFA and IDaaS. And our experts know how to
integrate your solutions with other systems such as IGA, PAM, API
gateways, SIEM, and DLP. Want to also manage your user lifecycle in
these tools? We can help there as well.
Customer identity means new stakeholders, new use cases, and new
challenges
Many organizations are embarking on digital transformation projects to
increase brand awareness, loyalty, and marketing opportunities.
However, this also puts organizations in a position they may have
never been in before: publishing applications to customers and
securing customer authentication data.
We understand the challenges inherent in these projects, and the need to bridge gaps between information security, marketing, and business owners. We can help during planning, architecture, and implementation to ensure a successful project and happy customers.
Let us help move your Access Management workloads to the cloud
Heavyweight first generation Web Access Management solutions like
SiteMinder and Oracle Access Manager are being deprecated by their
vendors, leaving many on premise applications without supported
authentication. Meanwhile, your workforce may now need to access these
same applications from the cloud. We can help by providing planning,
architecture, and implementation support for tools like Okta’s Access
Gateway product to provide cloud authentication and access to your
legacy applications.
