As networks expand to connect people and businesses throughout the world, secure access to business resources becomes increasingly important and more complex. Today, employees work from corporate, home, and mobile offices using mobile devices. Besides employees, customers and partners also require access to resources on your network, and your employees require access to resources on partners’ networks or at service providers.
Access Manager lets you provide employees, customers, and partners with secure access to your network resources using any type of device. Access Manager helps you if your business faces any of the following access-related challenges:
Protecting resources so that only authorized users can access them whether those users are employees, customers, or partners.

Requiring users to manage multiple passwords for authentication to web applications.
Ensuring that users have access only to the resources required for their jobs.
