Security is all about “the data.”
Many people use the term “data security” when they speak broadly about security. Attain Insight has found that security breaks down into a host of areas that include data, content, functionality, memberships, and more. Each has its own nuances and impacts how we authorize users in pursuit of the true role appropropriate view. Read on to learn more.
Streamline And Automate Security Administration
Compliance regulations around the world are more and more pervasive as we continue in the digital age. If your organization is concerned about data security, data privacy or content security, then security is at the center of how you control access to information.
All too often, implementing security to align with regulatory or compliance standards is a tedious, cumbersome, and manual process. It is inefficient and relies on people rather than well-formed security policies that apply security changes automatically and without fail.
Attain Insight Security 4X™ allows you to streamline and automate security administration processes including granting user access, delegating admin rights, and managing environments, while providing an audit of all changes.
A Common Control Point
The security management challenge for most organizations is focused on two areas: Directory Services and Applications.
Directory Services
Security 4X is a centralized security administration and compliance management solution, built to handle complex enterprise security requirements for Apache LDAP, Google Identity Services, HCL Domino Directory (Domino Directory), Microfocus or Novell eDirectory, Microsoft Active Directory and Okta.
Applications

Security 4X addresses the workflow challenge related to security. In most organizations, a security task is implemented through a ticket that is submitted. An IT person actions the ticket (when they have time), implements the security, and closes the ticket.

Changes are logged and are instantly visible to IT via Security 4X Audit Reports.
