Delegent Authorization Service
Delegent Authorization Service increases your security and productivity via centralized authorization management.
Delegent Authorization Service gives you a secure and flexible IT environment which supports the growth of your organization. Some of its benefits include:
Increased security:
- Sensitive information can be accessed only by authorized users and applications because Delegent Authorization Service effectively implements and enforces the organization's rules and policies.
- Via delegation, access rights can be issued by local decision makers without involving a central administration through a manual procedure. This decreases risks caused by errors and increases the security by lowering the number of security administrators.
- Access to Axiomatics' tools for analysis of access policies for identification of security holes (for example by verification, visualization and the possibility to control queries to the system) also increases security.
Increased control:
- The risk of unsuccessful audits decreases because the access control has been separated from policy enforcement and application code.
Increased flexibility
- It becomes easier to implement a secure homogeneous SOA since Delegent implements XACML which is the standard for access control in Web Services.
- Delegent supports the most well-known access control models, e.g. group-, role- (RBAC) or attribute-based access control. Whichever best corresponds to the structure of the organization can be used.
- With Delegent’s function delegation there is no need for a central administrator to perform changes of access rights as this easily can be done by a local decision maker.
- Easier to adjust applications to demands and legislations, e.g. Sarbanes-Oxley or HIPAA.
Increased productivity and cost-efficiency
- The time of development of your services/applications can be shortened because the access control is already made available by Delegent, eliminating the need of access control implementation by the developer.
