Overview
Our Mission
Applied Identity's mission is to enhance the overall enterprise IT security infrastructure by building user identity into the network layer, allowing organizations to make informed, policy based decisions to secure critical information assets and streamline IT compliance.
The Challenge
Many companies struggle with how best to protect their intellectual property and other sensitive information and often lack the visibility needed to define effective access policies to help mitigate that risk.
- Traditional IP-based solutions deployed in "topology aware" networks have proved difficult and time consuming when trying to maintaining an effective security posture.
- Details on who has accessed critical resources must be fully logged and accessible.
- To alleviate data seepage, a centralized approach to policy enforcement and protecting the organization's key network assets is a necessity.
- Beyond just employees, users granted access to the network now include guests, contractors and auditors - as pervasive network access has become an integral part of day-to-day operations.
Rather than adding a new layer of security complexity for an overburdened IT staff to manage, Applied Identity reduces the costs and complexity of traditional IP based security solutions by leveraging the existing identity infrastructure already embedded in the network.
Market Focus and Opportunity
Positioned as an Identity Aware Network solution provider, Applied Identity's products target companies with highly sensitive data that are faced with ever increasing compliance requirements. Traditionally, the markets most likely to invest heavily in IT security solutions have been the banking and finance, education, government and manufacturing sectors. Each of these can be seriously affected by loss of availability to applications and data and compliance mandates require that many of these organizations provide evidence to demonstrate control of access to sensitive resources.
