Identity and Access Management (IAM) for Industry

Commercial organisations rely on their business processes to meet delivery deadlines and ensure profitability. As a result, solutions that improve security and availability should take these processes into account, or run the risk of strong resistance during implementation. Companies are facing growing demands for confidentiality, availability and integrity and need to ensure that their security is compatible with their professional activities.

Evidian Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions are used in the industry and the service sectors throughout the world to guarantee access to information and compliance with laws and regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley and ISO 27001. Clients can both control the physical and digital access of their employees and implement approval procedures across their sites and IT system.

Greater efficiency

Every day, hundreds of thousands of users access their applications using Evidian authentication management solutions. Single Sign-On (SSO) and consolidated application access and federation of identities simplify their work as they don't need passwords to access their applications, whether stored internally, in the cloud or as SaaS. It considerably reduces the helpdesk workload, guaranteeing a rapid return on investment, and increases organisational flexibility and agility. Implementation costs for the company are minimal, as Evidian solutions are not intrusive and do not require modification of applications . Evidian gives access to all web applications, whether stored internally, in the cloud or as SaaS, from any terminal, PC, tablet or smartphone.

Access to PCs and applications can require strong authentication using a smartcard, radio badge, biometric recognition, QR code, grid card or one-time password. Self-service password request (SSPR) makes users autonomous. Employees travelling on business are never locked out because they have forgotten their authentication data, and the request can be reinforced using strong authentication (e.g. by smartphone).

More fluid business processes

With Evidian IAM solutions, companies use identity life cycle management and an authorisations approval workflow to ensure that user access rights comply with the application access policy. Evidian solutions are designed to be adaptable, dynamic and compatible with company business processes, particularly in terms of availability and mobility. Identity data can be maintained on the basis of various sources of authority such as marketing, consultant and human resource databases, which are a reference for the management of the access rights cycle, from a user's entry to their departure.

Better organisational agility

The solutions offer native integration between the various identity and access management products, allowing in particular the elimination of all user password management, and access control can be reinforced with strong authentication methods adapted to the usage scenario. In this way, security protects and improves company agility. Evidian IAM solutions offer complete access management and can be stored either within or outside the company, while remaining under the company's control.

Testimonial of Fives Syleps. "The automated factories that we equip rely on our ERP. It is not possible that our ERP is out of service due to a computer failure. Otherwise, the whole activity of the factory stops. We chose the Evidian SafeKit high availability product because it is an easy to use solution. It is implemented on standard servers and does not require the use of shared disks on a SAN and load balancing network boxes. It allows servers to be put in remote computer rooms. In addition, the solution is homogeneous for Linux and Windows platforms. And it provides 3 functionalities: load balancing between servers, automatic failover and real-time data replication.”

With SafeKit, we have three distinct advantages to meet this need. Firstly, SafeKit is a purely software solution that does not demand the use of shared disks on a SAN and network boxes for load balancing. It is very simple to separate our servers into separate machine rooms. Moreover, this clustering solution is homogeneous for our Windows and Linux platforms. SafeKit provides the three functions that we needed: load balancing between servers, automatic failover after an incident and real time data replication."
