Identity Access Management and Security Access Consulting Services; Firewall and VPN Appliances and Software
Identity Access Management and Information security management are core components of an organization's strategy. This represents a critical opportunity and responsibility for information security leadership. Now more than ever, Identity Access Management and security professionals must demonstrate expertise in aligning with an organization's highest priorities.
Our consulting service offers a fresh perspective by changing the fundamental economics of Identity Access Management deployments and ongoing service support and maintenance.
In cloud environments, one of the most pervasive and fundamental challenges in demonstrating policy compliance is proving that the physical and virtual infrastructure of the cloud can be trusted particularly those components owned and managed by external service providers.
For many business functions commonly run in the cloud, it's often sufficient to have a cloud provider vouch for the security of the underlying infrastructure. For business-critical processes and sensitive data, however, third-party attestations usually aren't enough because you should be proactive and not leave your business-critical processes and sensitive data to a third-party.
At General Masters, we have a strong passion for the security of our clients’ digital resources in every computing environment and the infrastructure of their platforms. Identity Access Management and Security management combine processes, technologies, and policies to manage digital identities and specify how they are used to access critical resources. We have partnered with third-party software providers as the cornerstone of our security consulting. We utilize industry leading identity management software deemed appropriate for your organization to automate and audits labor intensive information technology tasks to enable your organization to be more efficient, secure, compliant, and cost-effective, without compromising or altering your business processes. Our goal is to provide you one-stop access to industry-driven information and in-depth technology perspectives and consulting that enable you to achieve your business initiatives while managing risk.
While traditional security management has focused on addressing technology issues, challenges are now arising in the areas of policy management, audit and compliance. And we are here to do the heavy lifting to help you meet your security goals.
Typical Corporate Security Officers (CSO) are aware that security management spans many areas, including managing identities and user access, protecting business applications and services on the Web, preventing data loss and managing enterprise-wide activity and audit trail data logs. We work with organizations and CSO to achieve their security needs.
Our consulting services are aimed at helping our clients to strengthen their overall IT security and compliance posture and making sure that employees have access to everything they need to deliver their mission. In cloud environments, we help you to implement proactive measures to safeguard your infrastructure.
Using a third party solution, our clients can provision new employees much faster, and eliminate those tedious, labor-intensive manual procedures that usually accompany the hiring process. And at the other end of the spectrum, our clients can revoke access immediately upon their departure from the company with verifiable compliance with all the implemented security policies in place at the company. It comes down to using tools to manage User Provisioning and Role Management from a central office with appropriate delegations as needed.
Analysts estimate that each time someone calls the help desk, it costs anywhere from $25 to $50. Part of our consulting services is to implement solutions that empower your users through password self-service by keeping them from getting derailed from their work, reducing distractions, and make everyone more efficient. We accomplish this by letting them change their passwords and manage their identity in accordance with a defined business policy, and taking the help desk out of the password reset loop. This provides high efficiency and cost savings while ensuring security policy is enforced.
Our Security Access Consulting Services
Our Professional consulting team is dedicated to the successful implementation of an Identity Access Management technology in your unique business environment. As part of an initial phase, our experienced staff will work with your team to define a mutually agreed upon success plan and compliance solution that includes project goals, scope, success criteria, along with key milestones and deliverables.
We will then develop a detailed project plan that is customized to the client’s needs and identifies the tasks within the project, including technical hands-on and operational training. Our multi-phase implementation strategy ensures that your Access Control Governance solution is seamlessly integrated into your existing environment, and is based on the following steps:
§ Planning and Installation – Client and deployment requirements are defined and a deployment plan delivered that specifies all deployment goals and activities.
§ Implementation – The activities described in the deployment plan are initiated. Activities include configuration of the selected Identity Management solution, including collecting identity, entitlement, and role data from client data sources, configuring entitlement reviews, creating business rules that automatically validate security policies or compliance controls, and testing and validating the deployment.
§ Client Enablement and Deployment Transition – During this phase our staffs provide in depth enablement training to client personnel who will manage and maintain the Identity Management solution. This training will fully prepare the client team to handle on-going operations and support.
When you need to prove, track, automate, verify your security policies, ensure secure delegation of the management of users, groups, mailboxes, and other protected resources in connected platforms and directories, we have the proven third-party software products to accomplish your objectives.
