All right, I'm convinced. Entitlement Management, Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) and XACML all make sense. But why Axiomatics rather than one of the full suite Identity & Access Management vendors?

Entitlement Management solutions provide essential infrastructure base components and the fundamental building blocks for future information security strategies. The integrity, confidentiality and availability of your most sensitive information is at stake. Hence, trust is key. Procurement procedures need to establish strict requirements to ensure selected vendors are trustworthy.

These are some of the conclusions that existing Axiomatics customers have drawn:

• Commitment. XACML simplifies authorization, yet the technology solution is complex. Vendors need to be fully committed. Simply adding XACML request-response capabilities to existing access control engines is insufficient. You need truly vendor-independent, portable and native XACML policy management in addition to the capabilities of version 3.0 to handle delegation of administrative privileges. Axiomatics is  the only vendor committed to supporting the full scope of the XACML standard and thus the only vendor capable of meeting these requirements.
• Know-How. In most organizations the introduction of Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) means switching paradigms. This can be a daunting task without the expertise and support from people who truly understand the profound effects of transition towards a more sustainable infrastructure. The Axiomatics team has successfully delivered technology for some of the largest XACML deployments worldwide. Furthermore, Axiomatics products have developed out of research projects and several members of the company have Ph.Ds in areas relating to XACML and Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC).
• Vendor-independence for sustainability. One major advantage with a move in the direction of XACML and ABAC is that what formerly required proprietary code implemented in each single application, becomes standards-compliant and open in future infrastructures. Axiomatics is a dedicated vendor without a legacy of former proprietary solutions and vested interests, an ideal partner when future-proof access control solution are needed.

Axiomatics is the choice of organisations that require a dedicated vendor capable of offering a long-term partnership.
