Report Ranks Aveksa as Vendor with Largest Number of Entitlements Mined Across All Connected Systems; Cites Coverage of 253 Million Entitlements in Large Enterprise Deployment

WALTHAM, MA.—February 18, 2009 —Aveksa, Inc., the market-leading provider of enterprise access governance solutions, today announced that it has been included in a February 2009 report from Forrester Research, Inc., titled “Market Overview: Enterprise Role Management1.” Written by Senior Analyst Andras Cser, the report describes Aveksa’s Enterprise Access Governance solution as “comprehensive in terms of access recertification and role management.”

In the report, Forrester ranks Aveksa as the vendor with the largest number of entitlements mined across all connected systems. The report also cites the Aveksa’s enterprise role management deployment covering 253 million entitlements at a major North American financial services corporation.

“We believe that Forrester’s ranking of Aveksa as the vendor with the most entitlements mined across all connected systems provides tremendous recognition of our ability to scale to meet the access governance demands of any size enterprise,” said Deepak Taneja, president and CTO of Aveksa. “Aveksa enables the visibility, governance processes, policy controls and decision support organizations need to ensure the appropriateness of user access across all information resources.”

On average, Aveksa customers experience a 30 to 40 percent revocation rate for user entitlements during their first automated access review process, which underscores the value that organizations are realizing through Aveksa’s role-based access governance approach for streamlining access delivery, simplifying compliance, reducing cost and managing the business risks associated with providing users access to information resources.

The Aveksa Access Governance Platform is the industry’s first comprehensive solution for access governance, risk and compliance management. It is comprised of the Aveksa Compliance Manager, which automates the monitoring, reporting, certification and remediation of user entitlements; the Aveksa Role Manager, which enables role discovery, modeling and maintenance; and the Aveksa Access Request and Change Manager, which combines a business-centric interface and an automated, streamlined request process with policy controls to ensure that access is appropriate.
