Advanced Entitlement Management Solutions

A large number of enterprise, government / military agencies and mid-sized businesses today are moving towards outsourcing critical IT support to third party vendors. While access to the infrastructure is pertinent, the security and control of these highly sensitive systems can become a focal point when allowing outside users in.   Beyond authentication, which only determines who is allowed access to your systems, Entitlement Management broadens the scope to govern who has access to what systems and devices once they are inside the IT infrastructure. 

While third parties provide essential services needed to keep vital information systems operating consistently and correctly, they are considered high-risk users due to their elite level of access.  Xceedium’s Entitlement Management solution places control back into the hands of the IT administrator  when it comes to the confidentiality of and access to this sensitive information.  In other words, security, manageability and control are not lost to high-risk users. 

Xceedium GateKeeper provides secure, centralized, policy-based access and control to all IT infrastructure for all users, including vendors, in-house engineers, outsourced support, and other third parties.  Their patent-pending access and enforcement technology empowers the Enterprise by delivering specified services out of the data center to the desktop of the permitted user.  While many identity and access management systems merely act as barriers  within your enterprises own walls, Xceedium performs as the centralized point to oversee where high-risk users are willing to go, and what they are able to see and work on. 

Xceedium’s  unique hardened appliance allows multiple users to access very specific information needed to perform their functions only.  Xceedium GateKeeper's access policy, which is based on user profiles, can easily restrict user access to only those applications they require to perform their jobs. Unauthorized areas can be made invisible. The system will monitor, track and report who is doing what and when.
