Tivoli software solutions for WebSphere

The e-business market place is dynamic and constantly changing. It requires companies to adopt new solutions to extend their reach into new markets and new customers. In response, companies are increasing their flexibility, allowing system access to a broad constituency (customers, partners, suppliers, and employees) creating a distributed e-business environment.

The IBM WebSphere family of products allows businesses to operate successfully in distributed e-business environments, enabling them to reach broader and larger constituencies. However, WebSphere-enabled large user bases, their attendant larger number of applications, and user changes, increase the complexity of security and user management and can result in inefficiencies, increased administration, and system and network vulnerabilities.

Integrated identity management solutions from Tivoli software can help you expand beyond the base security features included in your current WebSphere environment. Identity and security event management solutions enhance your WebSphere security capabilities by integrating, automating, and simplifying the management of user identities, access rights, and privacy policies, as well as helping to enable the rapid deployment of e-business portals and applications for customer acquisition and corporate expansion. These solutions enable WebSphere customers to:

• Control identity through access control, single sign-on, and auditing, reducing administrative costs, and simplifying the administration of data protection and access control policies.
• Maintain policy compliance across your infrastructure, through centrally deployed and developed access, identity, and privacy policy rules, creating efficiencies and reducing cost.
• Protect consumer trust and brand integrity by implementing privacy policies that control sensitive information. Centrally develop and deploy privacy policy rules that enable adherence across the IT infrastructure, creating efficiencies and reducing administration costs.
• Centrally coordinate enrollment, provisioning, and user self-care tasks. This streamlines and automates workflow, increasing accuracy and efficiencies, and reducing administrative and operational costs.
• Provide consistent security across heterogeneous e-business applications and extend WebSphere's base security services for authentication and authorization to more advanced forms of security, i.e., flexible authentication, wireless support and delegated management
