Identity and Access Management (IAM) regulates who or what can access which resources in a company's information system, such as specific systems, applications, and data.
IAM's task is to protect critical resources and sensitive information. At the same time, it must ensure that all users receive necessary access as simply and quickly as possible and can work smoothly.
The structures have grown over time, sometimes there are more roles than users. This means enormous effort in authorization management, IAM personnel changes, and upcoming compliance checks and audits. The lack of clarity increases the risk of errors and security risks.
In traditional purely manual authorization management, the dependence on experts for authorization management is high. These experts are expensive and difficult to recruit. Especially during times of acute high demand, such as during restructuring and mergers, there is a risk of delays and work stoppages.
Technological developments such as mobile access, IoT devices, cloud migrations, and biometric authentication methods require constant adjustments to IAM. Moreover, the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence also plays into the hands of cybercrime: Previously proven methods in IAM are becoming vulnerable to AI-supported attacks, and it is becoming even more important to stay up to date with security precautions.
We support you in all challenges related to Identity and Access Management.
A key focus of our expertise is in SAP authorization management. Here, we employ innovative software solutions that work with automation and Artificial Intelligence.
In addition, we offer the full range of services for authorization management - from targeted assistance in ongoing operations to system audits and data protection audits, to the creation and implementation of complete authorization concepts. We are also happy to support you in the introduction of S4/HANA, whether you decide on a brownfield or greenfield approach.
We conduct an in-depth analysis of your SAP system and authorization structures using proprietary algorithms. In this process, we identify SoD conflicts and other vulnerabilities, and make suggestions for optimizations. We find superfluous roles and those that can be consolidated. If desired, we carry out the optimizations ourselves, up to the implementation of our proven role concepts.
Typically, about 60% fewer role profiles are necessary - this significantly improves maintainability and security.
Many authorization management tasks can be automated using the marbles.run web application. This saves you from long sessions in the SAP GUI, and processing times are shortened. Structured processes and automation, monitoring and reporting improve security - human and machine complement each other.
We work with your infrastructure; the automations can be implemented with minimal integration effort and immediately enable cost reduction by an average of 50%.
