The Problem

Identity and Access Management is a complex discipline, and implementing an IAM solution can be difficult. A trusted IAM advisor from ICSynergy can guide you through every step of the process.

Many companies know they need to implement an identity and access solution or plug gaps in their existing security posture. What they don’t know is which solution is right for their organization. With expert IAM advisory services, this is no longer an issue.

Before you can implement an IAM solution, your company will want to know the investment makes sense financially. With our analysis, you can clearly and easily demonstrate return on investment (ROI).

The Problem

Creating users, assigning privileges,and ending/altering access or privileges when users leave the company or change roles.

Integrating one-click SSO with multi-factor authentication (MFA) for secure access to SaaS apps.

Tracking user permissions inside the system, and tracking and auditing the configuration of your system.

The Solution

ICSynergy offers enterprises an assessment service designed to develop an overall SaaS security plan. Our assessment focuses on three main areas:

The Problem

In a typical hybrid cloud setup, end-users will utilize on-premises and cloud-based applications interchangeably. No matter where your apps “live,” your users need to access them all with the same robust security – while being required to enter their password only once.

If suspicious activity occurs in one of your apps, you need to know right away. Without a strong single sign-on (SSO) solution, bad actors can compromise your entire system.

Tracking user permissions inside the system, and tracking and auditing the configuration of your system.

The Solution

ICSynergy will implement your IDaaS (Identity as a Service) solution such as Okta or Oracle Identity Cloud. Implementation includes synchronizing your existing user IDs from an active directory or HR system, and connecting your IDaaS to your SaaS (Software as a Service) applications.

With your IDaaS solution implemented, ICSynergy will deploy the SPGateway to extend your IDaaS solution and connect to your on-premises applications. To learn more about the SPGateway, click here.

For ICSynergy, implementation is only the beginning. Post-implementation, we will configure your Identity Management solutions to manage the identities maintained on both your on-premises and SaaS applications. Additionally, we will configure application IT and security monitoring for your hybrid cloud using Oracle Management Cloud.

The Benefits

End-users can access all the apps for which they are authorized via a single, secure point of entry. Single sign-on (SSO) with strong multi-factor authentication (MFA) helps keep your critical assets safe.

With ICSynergy’s SPGateway, you get a single, trusted pathway between your data and the outside world. Everything inside the Gateway is protected, guaranteeing a secure connection to your Identity Provider, as well as a secure, trusted channel between the Gateway and your apps running on your public and/or private cloud.

SPGateway encrypts all network traffic in your hybrid cloud architecture, from the end-user to the back-end application. ICSynergy bridges the security perimeter around all of your critical assets, creating an end-to-end security solution.

By placing an authentication service between the end-user and your apps, a process known as “sandboxing,” you ensure any malicious activity is unable to spread through your infrastructure.

If suspicious behavior by an end-user is detected post-login in your hybrid cloud architecture, SPGateway can implement a remediation immediately. Remediation policies are customizable by your administrators.

With only one password to remember, end-users are less likely to forget or lose login information. This reduces the demand on your help desk, saving you time and money.

The Problem

Privileged Access Management (PAM) solves an important issue for organizations: Controlling access to high-privilege accounts within an Active Directory environment.

No matter which solution you choose – CyberArk, Thycotic, or One Identity, for instance – you’ll need IAM experts to oversee the implementation process from start to finish.

PAM solutions section off privileged (or admin) accounts to mitigate the risk accompanying the theft of these credentials.

In the event of a compromised environment, a PAM solution should also be able to retake control.

Malicious actors might already be targeting your environment. Addressing vulnerabilities after an attack is not enough. To ensure complete security, your organization needs to stop bad actors from gaining access to privileged accounts in the first place.

And if the worst happens, you also need to know who had access, who used it, and what they did.

The Solution

At ICSynergy, we’re proud of our reputation as IAM experts. With 20 years in the business, we’ve seen – and fixed – all kinds of IAM challenges.

We’ll leverage that experience to ensure your PAM implementation runs smoothly from start to finish.

We’re not just IAM generalists. At ICSynergy, one of our IAM experts has a patent in Privileged Access Management.

Who knows PAM better than the people who hold patents in the field?

In implementing your PAM solution, you need to decide who in your organization will have access to privileged admin accounts. If your system is compromised with the admin account, knowing who had access will provide a way to trace the malicious activity.

The Problem

For organizations that are serious about security, Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is a must. However, implementation can be tricky without a trusted IAM advisor.

MFA represents an attractive solution for many enterprises. By requiring at least two steps to verify a user’s identity, MFA solutions offer extra security without placing too much of a burden on users. The alternative – authenticating users with only a username and password – is simply inadequate.

With at least one extra step involved, the process is much more secure. Even if a password is lost or stolen, a strong MFA solution ensures the right people have the right access to your network at the right time.

For all the advantages of MFA, choosing the right solution is only the first step. No matter which direction you go, you still need a trusted IAM expert to help you implement your MFA solution.

That’s where ICSynergy comes in.

The Solution

At ICSynergy, we’ve been in the MFA game from the beginning. With two decades of experience in Identity and Access Management, we have the experience and know-how to implement your preferred MFA solution quickly and correctly.

ICSynergy’s SPGateway can enable MFA in on-premises applications, typically as part of a single sign-on (SSO) implementation. To learn more about SPGateway, click here.

Who knows PAM better than the people who hold patents in the field?

In implementing your PAM solution, you need to decide who in your organization will have access to privileged admin accounts. If your system is compromised with the admin account, knowing who had access will provide a way to trace the malicious activity.

For even more security, companies can add trusted devices to their MFA solution. When combined, this "trusted triangle" – username/password, MFA, and a trusted device – is nearly impenetrable. Best of all, ICSynergy can guide you through the entire process.

The Problem

Your organization has spent time, effort, and money on identifying an ideal on-premises IAM solution. However, installation and integration present a new challenge that can be just as intimidating.

Installing, integrating, and configuring an on-premises IAM solution is specialized work. Your organization may have exceptional IT talent on board, but they might not be fully familiar with the nature of this job.

While your organization may have qualified personnel for installing and configuring your on-premises IAM solution, they might be committed to other projects. Taking your in-house resources off of their existing projects can be costly – and can create delays.

The Solution

At ICSynergy, we have decades of combined experience integrating IAM solutions. We’ve been in the IAM business since 2000, and our highly knowledgeable consultants have extensive experience in precisely this type of work. In 19 years, we’ve completed hundreds of deployments including work with multiple Fortune 500 firms.
