IdM and purpose of it

Principle of IdM is relatively simple: we must to assign a person to a  a virtual entity securely, who will be managed simply, administered on one interface: adding and revoking rights to any resource or system of the organization. In line with increasing number of users, followings will increase also:

  • administration time of users (even for days!),

  • coordination time of the roles/user rights existing on the resources,

  • monitoring/auditing cost of the user lifecycle,

  • needed time to comply with the control objectives;

and the change management will become difficult.

 

The implementation

It is no so easy to implement IdM technically due to the differently developed operating systems and applications, let alone IdM tool must be able to follow and support the requesting rights processes and the concerned change management processes of the organization with its own workflow-engine, during the whole lifecycle of the identities.

With implementing the IdM function

  • security of operation can be increased,
  • capacity of user administration team of IT operation can be more efficient,
  • administration can be more transparent,
  • successful pass different audits (SOX, SAS70, ISO27001 and other audits requested by mother companies) will be possible with minimal resource.
