Overview
Businesses need to continuously strive to secure their systems to meet compliance requirements and win the confidence of customers. At the same time, these security measures should not hamper effective collaboration with suppliers, partners and customers. To achieve this fine balance, the operating environment must be flexible and easy to use, meeting the needs of a dynamic enterprise and yet be compliant with regulations.

This is the business challenge that Aujas Identity and Access Management services addresses.

Various Statistics and Research Surveys report the following:

Users have on an average 21 passwords, with nearly half writing them down and 67% rarely or never changing them. – 2005 NTIA Monitor Password Survey, UK; zdnet.com An average of 20% of ex-employees and contractors have access to the company’s system. Nearly 30%-45% of help-desk requests are for password resets. - Meta Group 2002 The solution to all of this is proper Identity Management and real time enforcement of Access Management to Physical Resources, Applications, Databases, Directories, Security Systems and Operating Systems.

Key Business Issues
Some of the key business issues and challenges that mandate the need for Identity and Access management solutions are:

• Complexity involved in managing a large user and application base
  • Lack of clarity on which user has access to which resource
  • Increased security risk arising from orphaned or rogue user accounts
• Improving Operational efficiency
  • Time delay in creating new accounts manually for new employees, leading to work delay and productivity loss
  • Multiple user accounts and passwords given to a single user to access different systems
• Application development issues
  • The absence of a standard reusable authentication/authorization framework leading to an increase in development time
• Reducing operational costs
  • Helpdesk and System Administration overheads
• Increased need for compliance with country and industry-specific Legal and Regulatory regulations such as SOX, GLB, SAS 70 Type II and CFR.
