Identity and Access

Management
Your Key to Merging Physical
and Digital Access Privileges
CORRALLING THE PROLIFERATION
OF SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS
Companies deploy a lot of software applications. A lot. So much so that
managing all of them can be overwhelming. Multiple sources, including Okta
and CIO Dive, report that the average company worldwide uses more than
100 apps, and a significant number exceed 200 apps.
A system administrator
Each app may have its own set of permissions and limitations. In a company must navigate countless
with 5,000 employees, that calculates to between 500,000 and 1,000,000 applications to set the
sets of software permissions to manage. And that accounts for the digital
applications they use. Physical access adds even more to the mix. A system

needs a temporary change of status, or otherwise requires new identity and
access management privileges. The process is frustrating, tedious, confusing roles, or needs a
and an inefficient use of staff resources. Moreover, mistakes are inevitable temporary change
and hard to find after the fact. Some users end up with permissions to both
physical locations and network resources without having the requisite
of status
authority or need. Ex-staff may retain access to corporate networks or
facilities for weeks, months, or even years.

In addition, the Great Resignation continues to engulf much of the world,


with workers changing jobs, reducing hours, or leaving the workplace entirely.
Often, departing staff are replaced by part-time, situational, or gig workers
who require highly specific or short-term access to corporate data, tools,
content, and physical space. Their presence in the workforce, as well as the
labor-intensive management process necessary to make them productive,
introduces additional risk and expends additional resources. The risk
becomes more severe as companies skimp on or forgo background checks
to get bodies in the workforce.

While many organizations have turned to identity and access management


(IAM) tools such as Okta, Microsoft AzureAD, and G-Suite to control access to
virtual networks, applications, and data, those solutions are only being used
at the network level—not for physical security.

Globally, firms utilize


100+ applications on
average, while many
use more than 200+
INTRODUCING AN INTEGRATED
VIRTUAL AND PHYSICAL IAM SOLUTION
In many ways, physical security has lagged behind its cyber counterpart during
the digital revolution. Many organizations rely on legacy systems--typically on
premise, keycard based, and facility-specific—for access control. Systems
integrated with access control, such as video surveillance and alarms, have
also failed to keep up.
Integrated cyber
Integrated cyber and physical access management provides a unified view of and physical access
all access entitlements in a single location. There’s no need to cross-reference
management
multiple systems, which can be confusing and time consuming. Integrated access
enables automated user management, which eliminates identical entries in provides a unified
multiple systems, ensures that user HR records are constantly up to date, and view of all access
populates any user permission or status change throughout the entire digital
and physical access environment. An integrated solution also aids in regulatory
entitlements in a
compliance, such as with SOX or HIPAA, as well as with compliance with security single location
protocols and best practices, such as ensuring least-privileged user policies
remain in place.

This combined identity and access data from the physical and virtual worlds can
be analyzed to better detect anomalous activity or behavior, more quickly identify
security threats, reveal vulnerabilities in the security infrastructure, and simplify
system audits. Combining identity management, physical access control, as well
as with other physical security systems enables organizations to gain an
integrated 360-degree view of their facilities and networks.
