NetIQ Unveils Identity And Access Governance Solution

To improve how business owners dynamically track and report on the constant changes in roles and responsibilities, entitlements, employee departures and “time-bound” access, NetIQ has announced the availability of Access Governance Suite 6 (AGS 6).

An integral offering in the company’s Identity and Access Governance solution set, AGS 6 delivers access recertification, job role management, automated access request management and more to reduce risk, cost and complexity, dynamically manage change, govern enterprise policies across IT policy domains, identify business risks stemming from user access and implement sustainable compliance procedures.

This latest release adds enhanced risk-based analysis and scoring to standard access request, access certification and role management capabilities to highlight end users who, based on their entitlements, may merit additional scrutiny or review. Additional features include an enhanced, user configurable interface as well as broader platform, database and web server support.

“With the movement to cloud-based applications, organisations are even more challenged to attain a level of visibility and control over user access and entitlement creep, which impacts their ability to meet compliance requirements,” said Tom Crabb, Manager of Product Marketing, NetIQ. “AGS 6 builds on NetIQ’s decades of identity lifecycle management and access governance experience and provides business owners with answers to the age-old question of ‘who has access to what’ with actionable intelligence required to fully protect corporate data regardless of where it resides and maintain compliance postures on an ongoing basis globally.”
