ManageEngine announced the launch of
Identity360,
its cloud-native identity management platform that addresses identity
and access management (IAM) complexities arising within enterprise
workforces. The new platform will be showcased at
ManageEngine's User Conference, scheduled on Oct. 3 and 4, 2023, in Dallas, Texas.
ManageEngine also announced the addition of access certification and identity risk assessment functions to ADManager Plus,
its on-premises identity governance and administration (IGA) solution.
These two functions enhance the compliance posture of enterprises and
help them mitigate security risks.
The workforce, which constitutes an integral part of an enterprise, is
continuing to evolve digitally, adopting different technologies to make
jobs easier and faster. As a result, there has never been a greater
spotlight on identities than there is today. With enterprises eager to
enable the mobility of the workforce without compromising on security,
it is now crucial to handle identity complexity effectively and ensure
regulatory compliance, all while prioritizing a seamless user
experience.
ManageEngine aims to cater to those workforce demands with the launch of
Identity360. A centralized platform that integrates directories and
applications to streamline user identity management, Identity360 can
enforce access controls across these integrated entities. It also offers
end-to-end identity life cycle management with workflow orchestration
and empowers organizations to optimize their business processes.
"Organizations, regardless of their infrastructure and size, commonly
encounter identity security and management challenges. Identity360 can
help them securely transition to the cloud and effectively manage
identities and their access to applications, all while enforcing strong
security controls," said Manikandan Thangaraj, vice president of
ManageEngine.
Adhere to Compliance Requirements and Fortify Security
With the security landscape perennially changing and organizations
required to exhibit their compliance with major IT mandates,
ManageEngine has integrated access certification and identity risk
assessment capabilities in ADManager Plus. These features empower
organizations to align their security and business needs.
ADManager Plus' identity risk assessment feature enhances cybersecurity
readiness by foreseeing risks and providing on-the-fly mitigation
measures to address them. Access certification campaigns ensure users
have only the rights they need to perform their job, help organizations
implement segregation of duties and the principle of least privilege and
demonstrate compliance with IT mandates.
"When it comes to Active Directory, cyberattacks are primarily caused by
issues related to security misconfigurations and privilege abuse.
Implementing strong measures such as risk assessments and access
certification campaigns can enhance the security of Active Directory,
streamline audit processes and ensure compliance," Thangaraj said.
