Managed identity and access solutions

Enable your users to quickly and securely access the applications they need with managed identity and access solutions.

 

 

Overview

What is managed identity access?

Protect, monitor and control identity across your on-premises, cloud and hybrid infrastructure

With more and more people working remotely and using different apps and devices to connect, organisations are forced to juggle hundreds of applications across the business. With each new application, users’ passwords proliferate, creating an admin and security nightmare.

One compromised user identity can allow attackers access into your estate, where they will try to escalate their privileges, giving them unlimited control over your systems.

Identity and access management solutions enable your employees, partners, and customers, to quickly and securely access all the applications they need.

Additionally, Privileged Access Management (PAM) allows you to control administrator access to your systems, limiting the chance of full system compromise.

As well as reducing IT and user friction, they help you:

  • move to the cloud – everything is stored and secured remotely
  • prevent data breaches – no shared admin passwords
  • comply with audits - every privileged access interaction is tracked
  • adopt a Zero Trust approach – multi-factor authentication ensures whoever is logging in is allowed to access those applications
  • simplify access – there’s just one login to all users’ applications and an automatic password reset
  • improve agility around mergers – multiple directory sources can be added to one directory, giving people the same access regardless of which company they were originally in.

Managed Identity

What is Managed Identity?

Managed Identity is an identity and access security solution from BT that manages all your users’ passwords to let them securely access all the applications they need.

Features include:

  • adaptive MFA – easy to deploy and manage for admins, and allows for seamless enrolment and authentication for all user types
  • lifecycle management – enhances productivity and increases security by automating onboarding and offboarding, and granting / revoking the right access in a timely fashion
  • advanced server access – enabled just-in-time password-less authentication to Linux and Windows servers, and automates the end-to-end lifecycle of server user and group accounts.

Privileged Access Management

Simplify control of your critical privileged accounts

Privileged access is everywhere: in every networked device, database, application, and server on-premises, in cloud and Industrial Control Systems environments, and through the DevOps pipeline.

Privileged access is used by both human and non-human / machine identities that have all-powerful access to confidential data and systems.

When employed properly, privileged accounts are used to maintain systems, facilitate automated processes, safeguard sensitive information, and ensure business continuity. But in the wrong hands these accounts can be used to steal sensitive data and cause irreparable damage to the business. Because of their usefulness, privileged accounts are exploited in nearly every cyberattack.

Privileged Access Management solutions are designed from the ground up to help you efficiently manage privileged account credentials and access rights, proactively monitor and control privileged account activity, and intelligently identify suspicious activity to quickly respond to threats.
