EnterSpace Security Suite™ Home
Contextual Entitlement and Privilege
Management..Put Identity Management to Work
The EnterSpace Security Suite (ESS) was created
in response to the need for next-generation, contextual
security decisioning including:
- Authentication Support
- Coarse-to-Fine-Grained Authorization and
Run-Time Entitlements/ Privileges
- Federated Attribute Retrieval and the
Creation of Attribute Authorities
The ESS leverages existing identity management
systems to deliver a rules-based, security service that
can operate within an open standards-based SOA. The ESS
was designed to address some fundamental needs of the next-generation
security architecture for the enterprise:
- How can you tear down the walls and silos
created by security implemented on an application-by-application
basis by externalizing security to a callable, distributed
security service?
- How can proprietary security interfaces
and agents be replaced by open standards-based interfaces,
like SAML and XACML?
- How do you take advantage of the movement
towards Web Services and SOAs while still remaining secure,
especially as SOAs create the need for finer-grained authorization?
- Attribute Based Access Control™
(ABAC)
- How do you secure resources when the consumers of the
resources come from communities of interest (COIs) that
must form, morph, and disband on-the-fly?
- How can you leverage an enterprise security
service that cleanly integrates with your existing identity
management platform?
- How can rules-based security decisioning
be safely distributed across the enterprise?
- How do you more easily Public-Key-Enable
applications; including the utilization of OCSP and SCVP,
with minimal-to-no code changes to the applications?
The ESS is a Contextual Entitlement and Privilege
Management tool designed to augment and extend Role Based
Access Control (RBAC) and User Based Access Control (UBAC)
with ABAC, Policy Based Access (Policy Based Access Control),
and Risk Adaptive Access Control (RADAC).
