The Challenges of Active Directory User management Relying solely on Active Directory's native tools can make the business-critical tasks of user provisioning, change user and de-provisioning time consuming and error prone, negatively affecting productivity and security. Even if your organisation has well defined processes for managing provisioning and de-provisioning, including authorised approvals, enforcing adherence to processes and providing reports on users access privileges can be challenging.

Market Overview: Privileged Identity Management This whitepaper, written by Andras Cser, Forrester Research Principal Analyst, discusses six new features and capabilities that Forrester believes will redefine Privileged Identity Management (PIM.) Today, auditors want to monitor, record, and control administrator actions to the finest level of detail possible. This has forced many changes in PIM architecture. Vendors must now provide more robust features and capabilities in their product stack, such as secure channels, provisioning integration, credentials distribution, sensitive entitlement enforcement, session recording, and auditing. To support developing risk models in IT administration, Forrester expects that PIM architectures will evolve in the future to encapsulate fraud management and pattern recognition. |
