Hitachi ID: Capturing your Success

IT companies today are dealing with immense pressure of managing identities across the board of their organization. Granting and revoking access according to the situation, governance, and staying in line with the regulatory requirements for internal protocols is hugely affecting the companies’ daily activities, and it’s also making an undesirable impact on the financial books of the organizations. This decreasing efficiency of old structures in place has been one of the key reasons behind rapid adoption of IAM across the industry. IAM brings a balance to the picture by fulfilling these obligations while also delivering a user-friendly and responsive method to grant and revoke access.

IAM makes sure that you don’t fall short on the security front as well.

The concept of IAM is broader and deeper than it seems. There are a wide range of elements to it. Companies require a certain level of guidance when it comes to IAM, and solution providers like Hitachi ID are there to do just that. Hitachi ID system is a seasoned member of the industry; hence the company understands the true requirements of a client. They foster a healthy collaboration with the client to deliver services like access certification/governance, password management, and management of other types of credentials, strong authentication, federated or web single sign-on, legacy sign-on, privileged access management etc. Hitachi ID pays utmost importance to the client’s input, which enables them to present a solution that’s tailor-made for the needs of that particular client.

“We offer multiple IAM capabilities, all in one installation, behind a single ‘pane of glass,’ running on a shared platform,” says Idan Shoham, CTO and co-founder of Hitachi ID Systems.

Hitachi ID is well aware of the fact that in today’s financial climate, companies look for solutions that offer value for the money; therefore Hitachi ID produces solutions that are cost-effective and sustainable over a long run. The other major issue that the companies usually suffer with is the dearth of a one-stop solution. For example, the current IAM picture asks them to procure one tool for access governance, another one to automate on-boarding and deactivation, and then another one for presenting the users with an access request portal, password resets, or more of a general self-service credential management. In addition, companies have to bring more tools on the table to activate privileged access management, which includes things like secure embedded passwords, brokering human administrator login sessions etc. This gets extremely hard to manage and hard to bankroll. What Hitachi ID does is that it brings all these tools into one fine-tuned package that can be operation through streamlined channels. This eases the financial burden on the organization and brings a different level of structure that holds some promise to increase the quality of their final product. Furthermore, the clients can keep their options open by selecting a particular service or combining it another or just integrating them simultaneously.

Hitachi ID has paid a great deal of attention to making their solutions relatively more flexible and uncomplicated, which immediately makes the deployment process more smooth and efficient.

“No other IAM suite includes identity management, access governance, group lifecycle management, credential management, privileged access management, strong authentication, and federated access. The Hitachi ID suite comprises all these, behind a single user interface, running as a single instance, with a single backend database and using shared connectors and reports,” says Idan Shoham.

For future, Hitachi ID plans to continue their journey on a different path from their competitors. Their problem-solving mindset is focused on finding an answer for every challenge the industry is facing today. They want to continue innovating and deepen their impact on the grand scale.
