Original Press Release:
Hitachi ID Releases Identity Management Suite 6.1
RBAC enforcement, real-time auto-provisioning and an enhanced user experience make Hitachi ID Management Suite 6.1 a major milestone.
CALGARY, Sept. 1 / / - Hitachi ID Systems, Inc., a leading provider of identity and access management (IdM) solutions, is pleased to announce the general availability of version 6.1 of its identity management suite.
"Hitachi ID Management Suite 6.1 is a major milestone in our program to deliver a high-value, low-cost solution to customers. It introduces strategic features such as RBAC enforcement, innovative technologies such as real-time user provisioning and significantly improved usability," says Idan Shoham, Hitachi ID Systems' CTO. "The new version reduces deployment time by avoiding the need to deploy complex business logic on systems of record."
The new release builds on the architecture first introduced in Hitachi ID Management Suite 6.0 and adds significant new features. Notable among them are:
* A new RBAC enforcement engine:
When role definitions are changed, this engine automatically adds and
removes entitlements to and from users. Also, if administrators change
user entitlements out of band, the enforcement engine brings users back
into compliance.
A new subsystem allows systems of record to trigger automatic
provisioning, deactivation and synchronization actions in real time. Of
note is that this is done without having to deploy complex business logic
on ERP or HR applications.
Pre-defined requests allow administrators to create simple forms for
popular requests, such as "Hire a contractor" or "Schedule termination."
Users can then submit change requests without having to navigate through
all of a recipient's identity and access information.
The new version supports automated, manual and mixed-mode integrations.
This allows organizations to deploy Hitachi ID Identity Manager as the
single place where users request access changes, regardless of whether a
connector has been fully or partially deployed to the system in question.
A new client component intercepts "Access Denied" error messages on
Windows workstations and allows users to proceed directly to the
appropriate access request page.
"Identity management needs to deliver significantly more for the enterprise than a few years ago," says Felix Gaehtgens, senior analyst, Kuppinger Cole + Partner. "Instead of managing just 'identities', entitlements need to be managed and attested regularly. Under pressure to deliver more for less, IT departments look at automation and self-service."
"Hitachi ID Systems has rewritten their product from a password management solution into a flexible platform for identity management. They can now take advantage of this by adding modular features and drive innovation of their products," he added.
Hitachi ID Management Suite includes:
identity attributes and deactivating users.
rights.
