Executive Summary:

In today's digital landscape, managing user identities across a complex enterprise environment can be a significant challenge. Manual processes are error-prone, inconsistent access controls introduce security risks, and compliance demands add further complexity. Cymmetri's Identity Lifecycle Management (ILM) solution streamlines this process, offering a comprehensive and automated approach to user onboarding, access provisioning, and deprovisioning.

Challenges:

  • Inefficient Manual Processes: Manually managing user access consumes valuable IT resources and increases the risk of errors.
  • Uncontrolled Access: Unmanaged accounts and stale privileges create security vulnerabilities, exposing sensitive data to unauthorized access.
  • Compliance Complexity: Meeting data privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA requires extensive manual effort and auditing.
  • Limited Self-Service: Lack of self-service capabilities for password resets and access requests frustrates users and burdens IT helpdesks.
  • Scalability Issues: Traditional solutions struggle to adapt to changing user needs and organizational growth.
