Securent’s Entitlement Management Solution (EMS) externalizes entitlement policy from applications—giving you total visibility and control over the entire security landscape of your organization with as much or as little control over specific policies as needed.

As an IT architect, you are focused on designing applications that are secure, scalable, highly performant, and aligned with key architectural principles such as SOA. Securent EMS is the only Entitlement Management solution that is designed for large scale enterprise deployment. With its flexible, multi-tiered architecture, snap-on integration with existing infrastructure components, and broad support for heterogeneous platforms, the product can be deployed in even the most demanding and stringent IT environments. Securent EMS has been proven in production in several Fortune 50 accounts over the past three years.

Key capabilities and benefits of the solution include:

Securent gives you centralized and automated policy review capability within applications and across the enterprise. Real-time reports and alerts on who can access what, who accessed what, and who made what administrative change are easily available from a single management console for the entire enterprise. Securent enables companies to enforce and audit segregation of duties and other compliance policies for the entire organization with ease. Furthermore, Securent significantly reduces the cost of remediation by providing clear views of who has access to which resources under which conditions and how that user acquired access – addressing all of the key questions an auditor would ask. Once the precise source of the failure is identified, Securent EMS allows for quick updating and immediate enforcement of the new policy.

By enabling standardized distributed policy resolution, Securent EMS helps organizations eliminate significant cost associated with redundant, stove-piped, development of policies across heterogeneous environments. Securent EMS provides great policy consistency, which leads to enhanced visibility and overall security.

With central IT departments straining to meet the service needs of existing applications, any new application you architect must have provisions to reduce help desk expenses. Securent EMS is designed to deliver smart delegation of access control policy administration to line-of-business owners, which significantly reduces the help desk load and improves the organization’s responsiveness to changing market conditions.

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an approach to developing and organizing application and IT resources in a flexible manner to deliver business agility, which is increasingly vital for success in today’s competitive and dynamic global economy. To preserve the architectural principles of a SOA, and thus the business benefits, non-core application functionality such as security must be externalized from business logic and provided as a service. More specifically, the management and decisioning of access rights must be made available as a robust infrastructure service that can be shared and leveraged across many applications. Securent EMS is designed for the most demanding and complex SOA environments with its support for XACML and other industry standards, three-tier architecture for policy administration, decisioning, and enforcement, and rich policy engine.
