Remember ancient business history (circa 1998) when organisations could more closely control access to their networks, applications and resources? Employees, contractors and suppliers usually had to be on site to access the network, and most applications were only available internally. In that environment, organizations could protect their most vital enterprise assets by setting up security at the perimeters.
By contrast, the highly-networked character of today’s organisations means that an increasingly large and diverse set of users must be managed across many different corporate IT systems. In most organisations, each system has its own process and technology for managing user access. Furthermore, an extended enterprise is no longer the sole owner of the network identities of the users that access its online applications and services.
The challenge: enabling the highly efficient conduct of business through distributed IT systems while effectively managing user access across all of them.
The NTS Identity and Access Management Solution bring distinctive experience, tools, processes and resources to bear upon these vital information access issues. With a more secure extended enterprise, organisations have a stronger foundation for innovation and growth.
