Imprivata, US identity management specialists recently signed their first Australian partnership agreement with Melbourne-based security specialists, CoreSight.
The Imprivata OneSign product ships as an appliance pair or distributed system, and has a core focus of delivering enterprise single sign-on that is simple, secure and effective.
CoreSight’s Scott Jackson stated “since Imprivata’s recent push into this market, there has been significant interest in their OneSign range. Several organisations have reached the proof of concept stage, and with a typical POC implemented in only a couple of days, we expect to have a number of clients before the end of the year.”
Imprivata’s OneSign brings something of a novel approach to the single sign-on aspect of the identity and access management area. Make it simple, non-intrusive and make the process of adding applications as quick and easy as possible. OneSign’s ability to securely leverage existing infrastructure and transparent sign-on process makes for happy end users, administrators and auditors alike.
“Although the Imprivata OneSign technology is applicable to all industries, we’re finding that the healthcare, financial services and government areas are the most interested today”, Jackson said. “Regulatory and privacy drivers in these areas seem to have created a better understanding of the benefits from making password management transparent for users. At the same time they realise they can increase the security of application logins without having to change code or the directory schema.”
Without sacrificing functionality or security, Imprivata OneSign is significantly less complex than most competitive solutions. Decreased implementation time and costs mean a quicker payback – and that organisations can tick off many regulatory requirements and security best-practices without the delays that some identity and access management projects can bring.
The issue of password management is an area in which CoreSight possess significant experience, courtesy of their partnership with VASCO Data Security since 2003. That Imprivata’s OneSign can leverage off existing authentication methods such as biometrics, smartcards, proximity readers and tokens makes this a great fit. And OneSign also has VASCO’s software integrated directly into the appliance, for organisations that don’t favour an existing authentication service.
