ID-Certify Overview

ID-Certify® is identity management software designed specifically to address the problems of orphan accounts, dormant accounts and privilege accumulation.

In a typical organization, where large numbers of users are hired, moved around and terminated every year, over time many users acquire more security privileges than they require:

Excess privileges represent a serious security problem: users with too many rights may violate separation of duties rules, and may be able to see data or make changes inappropriate to their job responsibilities.

Orphan and dormant accounts are especially attractive to intruders: nobody will notice if they are compromised.

ID-Certify is designed to address the problems of privilege accumulation quickly and simply. Unlike previous approaches to this problem, ID-Certify does not require costly role engineering or user classification. Instead, ID-Certify harnesses the business knowledge of key stake-holders to identify and remove inappropriate security rights.
