More and more of organizations' valuable information assets are being made accessible online and organizations must be able to protect those assets from unauthorized access. At the same time, government regulations are demanding tighter security standards and more accountability. The IBM® Tivoli® Access Manager family of products can help organizations effectively manage access to business-critical applications and data while giving users fast, convenient access to the information they need. These three complementary solutions provide centralized authentication and access control services for Web resources, systems and hosted applications.
