Hitachi ID Systems Integrates Identity Manager and Password Manager in Hitachi ID Management Suite

Hitachi ID Systems (News - Alert), which helps companies simplify and secure the management of identities, entitlements and credentials, has released the latest version of Hitachi ID Management Suite that integrates Identity Manager and Password Manager.

The new Hitachi (News - Alert) ID Management Suite version 8.0, designed for medium to large organizations, provides self-service, automation and policy enforcement for identities, entitlements and credentials in a single, integrated and scalable solution.

 "Version 8.0 embodies our vision to integrate the administration and governance of identities, security entitlements and credentials," said Idan Shoham, CTO of Hitachi ID Systems (News - Alert), in a statement. "Organizations need a single, integrated solution to manage these elements across their systems and applications in order to comply with regulations, manage risk, lower IT operating costs and improve user service."

The service offers several enhancements including a more visually appealing, immersive and easy-to-use interface. An advanced control engine links access rights to relationships between requesters and recipients.

The solution also includes new capabilities for access certification, including ad-hoc and single-user recertification. A built-in resource catalog provides extensible schema for entitlements, analytics for roles, fine-grained entitlements and identity data. Further the solution includes expanded workflow management through reports and dashboards.

Identity Manager and Password Manager version 8.0 provide improved scalability through a multi-master architecture that includes real-time, encrypted, WAN-friendly and fault-tolerant database replication.

Hitachi ID Systems provides Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions including Hitachi ID Identity Manager, Password Manager and Privileged Access Manager that enhance internal controls, support regulatory compliance, lower IT support cost and improve user service.   They help organizations across the world manage identities, entitlements and credentials across on-premise and cloud-hosted applications.

Earlier this year, Hitachi ID Systems announced that its identity management solution is being honored by Info Security Products Guide, an industry-leading information security research and advisory manual. Hitachi ID Identity Manager has been named a finalist for the 2012 Global Excellence Awards in the Identity Management category.
