Access Management made simple - Access: One
Providing Access Management for secure access to Web applications from a single administrative console.
In a world of ever increasing risk your organisation requires a flexible, robust and secure approach to Access Management. As new threats are introduced you need to look to strong authentication - supporting numerous applications and authentication protocols across different systems and scenarios.
Access: One simplifies the complexity of managing identity, access and audit management for multiple systems, infrastructures and security services - reducing risk and removing the need for complex application development.
- Reduce Cost
- Accelerate your speed to market
- Centrally control and administer security policies
- Leverage easy to implement, administer and repeat security services
Access: One's zero-touch user management system simplifies your Access and Authentication Management solution by enabling you to:
- Seamlessly integrate and reuse existing user repositories - removing the need for provisioning and synchronisation to an Access Manager.
- Associate multiple authentication mechanisms and user repositories with a single application.
- Provide real-time authentication of users against multiple authentication sources (for example, multiple Active Directory Forests or Windows Domains).
- Provide a real-time validation of users, authentication mechanisms and access privileges against your infrastructure - new services can be enabled dynamically.
Implementing Access: One allows you to:
- Support your Single Sign-On and Federation requirements, including SPNEGO and SAML support out of the box.
- Introduce new services and features to web services logon (for example, anti-phishing controls or choice of authentication methods available).
- Integrate additional information sources in real-time. Extending the scope of your authentication process and enabling you to collect, consolidate and transform attributes from external systems and securely pass them to the target application.
- Introduce new services for step-up authentication or transaction signing.
- Manage multiple Applications and Authentication Mechanisms from a central console.
- Easily secure access to applications both internal and external to your organization. Simplifying control of customer and employee access while extending your access management platform to support the cloud.
...without the need to change your backend applications.
Access: One enables organisations to centrally manage and control the authentication and authorisation mechanisms for multiple applications and user repositories from a central console.
Bringing together security services from across your infrastructure enables you to build a best-of-breed platform for identity and access management; reusing critical security services without the need for additional deployment and license costs.
Built to provide real-time authentication and authorisation services, Access: One ensures the right people have the right access at the right time.
Having to manage access and security for each application separately was proving to be extremely time consuming and negating some of the savings we had made ... Pirean delivered a solution that allows us to rein in those costs and deploy new applications quickly without generating more management overheads for the IT department.Bill Rafferty

Why is Access: One right for me?
Growing security challenges drive the need for centralized access management:
- For application security and compliance challenges:
Increasing regulations require secure access control (e.g. PCI, SOx, ITAR, HIPAA) - Access: One makes it simple to secure your resources and demonstrate only the right people have access to the right resources. - For service transformation:
Mergers, acquisitions and divestitures drive change - Access: One makes it simple to manage the change processes associated with securing business applications and introducing new services (SOA, SaaS and Cloud). - For data protection and secure collaboration:
You need to control access to critical data - Access: One makes it simple to ensure the right people to access the right data while keeping risk at bay. - For cost reduction:
Your business demands new services, improved security and that you do more with less - Access: One makes it simple with centralised access control, enabling you to manage and change user access control without modifying applications or web services.
Our work with Pirean is helping us deliver a new focus on web service that enables us to better interact with our partners and customers in an environment where security and speed to market are absolutely paramount...Ian Chapple

Access: One and Single Sign-On
Access: One enables your organisation to benefit from the added convenience of single sign-on (SSO) to your protected applications. For organisations, single sign-on can help to:
- Improve employee productivity - with users only authenticating once.
- Strengthen controls - by complimenting your single sign-on with secure, multi-factor authentication.
- Reduce administrative costs - by reducing the burden of password resets on the help desk.
- Increase Security - as users no longer needing to know their passwords for backend applications, stronger password policies can be implemented without the risk of users adopting on unsafe password practices.
- Decrease employee downtime - by reducing the risk of forgotten passwords.
Access: One for IBM Tivoli Access Manager for e-Business
Access: One reduces the deployment time for TAM implementations by allowing you to easily create, manage and extend External Authentication Interfaces through a single interface.
With our zero-touch user management system you remove the need for provisioning and synchronisation with your back end user repositories.
Using Access: One you can easily introduce new business logic to your login process (for example IP white lists and time based access control) and new access controls (such as SMS based validation) without the need for development or changes for your backend applications.
