Identity Security
Ensure only authorised users and services gain access through enforced identity controls.
Overview
Organisations commonly lack consistent identity and access controls. Unclear role assignments, inconsistent authentication and authorisation policies, and unmanaged account and credential lifecycles create gaps that enable credential misuse, privilege escalation and weak audit trails.
Identity Security defines and enforces authentication and authorisation rules, manages account and credential lifecycles and controls role and privilege assignments. Identity event monitoring with periodic review supplies measurable evidence of control; scope covers identity governance, authentication, authorisation, credential and account lifecycle, role and privilege management and identity monitoring, and excludes endpoint protection, network controls, application development and physical security.
What this solution helps you achieve
Reduce identity-based risk
Minimise the likelihood and impact of breaches caused by compromised, excessive or misused identities.
Protect privileged access
Secure administrative and service accounts against misuse, theft and unauthorised activity.
Gain identity visibility
Understand how identities are used, misused and changing across the environment.
Enforce least privilege
Ensure users and service accounts have only the access they need — no more, no less.
Identify excessive access
Detect over-privileged users, toxic permission combinations and unnecessary access rights.
Reduce privilege creep
Prevent the gradual accumulation of access rights as users change roles or responsibilities.
Perform access reviews
Conduct periodic access reviews and certifications to confirm access remains appropriate.
