Description

IBM Security Identity Manager is an automated and policy-based solution that manages user access across IT environments, helping to drive effective identity management and governance across the enterprise. By using roles, accounts, and access permissions, it helps automate the creation, modification, and termination of user privileges throughout the entire user lifecycle. IBM Security Identity Manager can help increase user efficiency, reduce IT administration costs, enforce security, and manage compliance.

Access Management

In a security lifecycle, IBM Security Identity Manager and several other products provide access management. You can determine who can enter your protected systems. You can also determine what can they access, and ensure that users access only what they need for their business tasks.

Support for corporate regulatory compliance

Security Identity Manager addresses corporate regulatory compliance in the following key areas:

  • Provisioning and the approval workflow process

  • Audit trail tracking

  • Security Identity Manager provides enhanced compliance status on items such as dormant and orphan accounts, provisioning policy compliance status, recertification status, and various reports.

  • Password policy and password compliance

  • Account and access provisioning authorization and enforcement

  • Recertification policy and process

  • Reports

Identity Governance

Identity governance includes these Security Identity Manager features:

  • Role management

  • Entitlement management

  • Access certification

  • Privileged user management

  • Separation of duties

Recertification

Recertification simplifies and automates the process of periodically revalidating users, accounts, and accesses.

The recertification process automates validating that users, accounts, and accesses are still required for a valid business purpose. The process sends recertification notification and approval events to the participants that you specify.

Reporting

Report is a summary of Security Identity Manager activities and resources. You can generate reports based on requests, user and accounts, services, or audit and security.

Static and dynamic roles

In static organizational roles, assigning a person to a static role is a manual process.

In the case of a dynamic role, the scope of access can be to an organizational unit only or to the organizational unit and its subunits. Dynamic organizational roles use valid LDAP filters to set a user's membership in a specific role.

Self-access management

IBM Security Identity Manager allows users and administrators the ability to request and manage access to resources such as shared folders, email groups, or applications.

Provisioning features

Security Identity Manager provides an integrated software solution for managing the provisioning of services, applications, and controls to employees, business partners, suppliers, and others associated with your organization across platforms, organizations, and geographies. 

Security Identity Manager addresses provisioning of enterprise services and components in the following areas:

  • Account access management

  • Workflow and lifecycle automation

  • Provisioning policies

  • Role-based access control

  • Separation of duty capabilities

  • Self-regulating user administration

  • Customization

Resource Provisioning

Depending on business needs, IBM Security Identity Manager provides alternatives you can use to provision resources to authorized users. Alternatives are based on requests, roles, or a combination of requests and roles.
