9 The Market Analyst firm IDC expects this market to grow from $2.6 billion in 2002 to nearly $6 billion by 2006 Based on a Gartner survey of 30 senior security executives in large companies, many organizations already have internal secure identity management initiatives underway: 80% of Financial Services 70% of Retail 70% of High Tech
10 What the analysts are saying… “The typical enterprise must manage increasingly virtual relationships with employees, contractors, customers, partners, suppliers, and a variety of other network constituents. The old way of thinking about corporate boundaries and network security—the firewall as an impenetrable perimeter—no longer apply. Suddenly, the ability to manage identity has a direct impact on your company’s brand and its ability to adapt to new business models. Do it well and your company can make money in new ways. Do it poorly and your company will be damaged severely.” Jamie Lewis CEO and Research Chair Burton Group
11 Cognizance Administration Center Manages users, user profiles, policies and applications from a single administration tool Manages all aspects of user identities across multiple directories Provides a consistent view of the enterprise security model Supports delegated administration Web enabled Includes a complete smart card management system Allows centralized SSO application registration
12 Cognizance Administration Center
13 Cognizance Multifactor Authentication Provides the following authentication methods out-of-the-box: Password Single-use password Smart card and USB token Virtual token (encrypted containers with the user identity) Digital certificates Biometrics Supports any arbitrary combination of the above authentication methods Allows the use of multiple alternative authentication methods per user Supports interface for plug-in authentication methods
14 Cognizance Role-Based Authorization Dynamic and static policy elements Authentication method, time, date, IP address and protocols Automatic policy generation based on business rules User sets allow combining users from different groups and directories Role Based Authorization and Access Control (RBAC) Maps complex policies and business rules to multiple roles Simplifies policy management Reduces the number of policy relationships Simplifies application management Provide both application role and role application views of the enterprise access control
