The Aveksa Enterprise Access Governance Platform Offers Unmatched Scalability
Good governance requires scalability
Scalability is a critical issue for any enterprise access governance system. Many organizations are finding that the systems they have relied on in the past for certification and monitoring of access to their information resources are being overwhelmed by the growing number of regulatory mandates to which they must comply, combined with the increasing size and complexity of their own enterprises.
In order to scale to meet an organization’s needs today as well as tomorrow, an access governance system must also deliver the capability to manage in a constantly changing environment. On-boarding, off-boarding and outsourcing of information resources that users must connect to, new compliance mandates, and the constant change to a user’s business role within the organization is very complex to manage. The ability to manage change is, in fact, one of the essential keys to achieving true enterprise scale.
Aveksa - An enterprise-tested and proven approach
The Aveksa Enterprise Access Governance Platform has been proven in numerous large-scale deployments as evidenced in the areas below:
- Visibility: Providing visibility into the relationships between users, accounts, groups, roles, and entitlements across thousands of information resources and tens of thousands of users is a difficult task without the right approach. The Aveksa platform can deliver the run time performance of data collection critical for capturing the reality of access and providing dynamic controls automation to ensure that business risks are avoided.
- Access certifications: Most organizations need an automated process that enables reviews of all user entitlements to information resources. The Aveksa platform can scale across thousands of reviewers, as well as manage the assignment coverage for hundreds of applications and handle reviewer delegation for numerous users, roles and entitlements.
- Role management: Discovering the right roles and maintaining role effectiveness across millions of entitlements and thousands of user-to-role bindings is daunting for most organizations. The Aveksa platform provides a set of scalable lifecycle management processes that include role discovery, design, engineering, synchronization and analytics for role maintenance.
- Relieving enterprise burden and compliance fatigue: Many organizations today are struggling to meet compliance deadlines because their systems for governing access can’t scale to the challenges of multiple, increasingly complex, and often overlapping regulatory mandates. The Aveksa platform can has reduce audit cycles substantially, resulting in the recovery of lost productivity, reduction of compliance fatigue, and lower overhead costs related to compliance.
- Improving IT operational efficiency: An inadequate approach to access governance can consume far too much effort on the part of IT staff as it attempts to establish full visibility of users and entitlements within all of an organization’s relevant IT resources. The Aveksa platform has proven itself to be up to the task, reducing user data acquisition, aggregation and correlation costs by up to 50%.
- Configuration rather than customization: Many first generation access governance solutions are rigidly architected and typically are not able to accommodate an organization’s unique requirements without a high degree of customization. The Aveksa platform is architected to be highly and quickly configurable, enabling organizations to rapidly on-board applications for review and certification.
- Streamlined compliance reporting: Many organizations are hitting a scalability wall with their homegrown applications and manual approaches to access compliance. The Aveksa platform provides a system of record that can scale to track all these process components (change and remediation), and can automatically recreate historical reporting periods.
