IBM Tivoli
Access Manager for e-business
Tivoli Access Manager for e-business manages the complexity of growing services through a single security policy that ensures consistent enforcement across multiple file types, application providers, devices and protocols. The result is enabled growth within a compliant e-business environment of trust and integrity across business-critical applications and data, regardless of platform or location.
Tivoli Access Manager for e-business enables on demand e-business through a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Realising control from a single, consistent layer, applications can be deployed faster and policy accurately and consistently managed. This security layer provides security policy administration and deployment that realises both enterprise-wide consistency and business specific customisation. Utilising a common security model (authentication, access control, Single Sign On and audit) across the e-business, ISV and legacy applications, user roles can be controlled so that employees, partners, suppliers and customers can achieve dynamic, role-based access dependent on their specific responsibilities. Equally organisational change can be deployed without costly internal implementation through the use of external business rules.
Business Benefit:
