Identity and access management (IAM) at the enterprise level is a complex set of processes and technologies that allow secure and effective management of a large number of users and their access to various system resources. New York Network Security companies are often called in by companies located all over the Northeast. Most of them are looking for a professional consultant to help with identity management services.
Companies these days have an increasing number of systems that require integration, creating a web of interconnected company-wide linkages. This makes it very hard and unfeasible for a bunch of IT nerds to sit around doing user management like they used to do in the past. IAM project implementation is the only way to effectively handle it in the age of cloud computing, ERP, smartphone apps, SaaS platforms and so on.
No doubt IAM must be done by a crack team of networking professionals. But that\'s no reason to make it seem so mysterious and geeky. It\'s really a very simple concept, so let\'s see how it can be explained in layman\'s terms.
The easiest way to do this is to create PUT charts with three columns. This includes processes, user populations and target systems. Fill up each column with all the relevant data, and that creates the core of what must be done.
Here is a look at some specifics. The process column could include password resets and single sign-on, in addition to user onboarding and offboarding. The target systems listed will include mail servers, CRM and ERP systems and/or division-specific ones such as accounting and inventory packages. User groups needing access level permissions to these systems include not just employees, but also vendors, contractors and customers.
An IAM implementation is a long-term project since the company\'s systems and users are in a constant state of change. It is essential that the design be such that daily maintenance is minimized and causes no disruption of operations. This is what network security consultants in New York offer, and the reason why so many companies in the Northeast make use of their experience in providing identity management services.
