The Situation and Challenge

IT managers face significant challenges in managing who gets access to what corporate information. The types of users that need access is expanding. The number of systems that need managed is growing. The threat of unauthorized access is now widespread. And to top it off, IT is consistently challenged to do more with less.

The ramifications of not being able to centrally control and manage access to enterprise information can range from increased costs and overextended resources to an increased risk of not being able to meet or verify compliance and damage to the corporate reputation.
