Ivanti enhances identity governance capabilities

Ivanti has introduced advanced reporting and analytics for Ivanti Identity Director, powered by RES, through integration with Ivanti Xtraction. This latest Xtraction connector strengthens organisations’ visibility and governance around identity management and access policies and provides an attribute-based approach to identity and access with automated provisioning, workflows and self-service. The Xtraction offers real-time dashboard reporting and analytics, increasing IT’s visibility into their environments.

“As the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) goes into effect in 2018, organisations must be prepared to face strict controls around protecting sensitive data,” said Duane Newman, vice president product management and marketing. “By integrating Ivanti Identity Director with Xtraction, we’re giving IT teams the insights they need to be ready for access certification reviews, internal audits and other compliance initiatives.”

Through the Ivanti Identity Director and Xtraction integration, IT teams can easily report on critical information related to who has been granted access to applications, data and other resources, and create audit trails of workflows and approvals supporting those processes. IT teams can also demonstrate compliance around removing access to key systems when someone’s role changes or when they leave the organization. Xtraction offers out of the box reports and an intuitive interface for creating custom dashboards and reports instantly for Identity Director data. IT can also gain valuable insights into the quality of the services being offered to employees, and capture trends based on requests for access to different apps and resources.

The firm unifies IT and security operations to better manage and secure the digital workplace. From PCs to mobile devices, VDI and the data centre, it discovers IT assets on-premises and in the cloud, improves IT service delivery, and reduces risk with insights and automation. The company said it also helps organisations leverage modern technology in the warehouse and across the supply chain to improve delivery without modifying backend systems.
