Identity Management

Bridging IT to Physical Security in a single box


A very close second beyond access control is identity management; the act of handling a presented identity. Managing trusted identities within an organization is vital to supporting an enterprise security policy. Once an identity has been verified and or granted access, principles such as least privilege can then be applied in order to support trusted business operations. And although the combination of identity management and access control is a powerful duo, it stands to be mentioned again that without the ability to disseminate data to the rest of the organization, business value cannot be attained from the system.


Built-in Enterprise Security Management (ESM) connectors provide flexibility and control to integrate physical security policy with network (identity) security policy manually or in an automated manner. Events in several standard formats may be transmitted in real time to ESM for interpretation and correlation and, using the secure shell (SSH), physical policies may be adjusted. The PlaSec Collaborative Platform seamlessly integrates with the optional Identity Management Solution for ID photo capture and badge creation as well as with partner supported video management systems for access event video recording and replay.


Enterprise Collaboration

Although the PlaSec Collaborative Platform has excellent identity management functionality, it has built-in protocols that enable it to pass collected data to other platforms that specialize in broad enterprise management correlation - such as the ArcSight Framework. Additionally, the PlaSec Collaboration Platform supports various other identity management systems such as:


Identity Lockout

Revocation of an employee's building access badge is often the first security event to occur upon separation from the company. When this occurs, it very often takes time before the badge credentials are removed from the physical access control system. This is largely due to the physical security system being a disparate system from the enterprise IT system - of which the human resource system would most likely be part. Since the PlaSec Collaborative Platform is able to communicate to your existing organizational IDMS data stores, when an individual has been terminated in the the local network system, PlaSec Collaborative Platform is instantly updated and will automatically revoke any granted access that individual had to the organization.


Built-in Reporting

No more calling your physical security department requesting who had access to which doors and when. With the PlaSec Collaborative Platform, you can easily create in real-time an aggregated view of who, when, and from where an employee gained access to the building. Having report information available at the push of a button via standardized reporting, the PlaSec Collaborative Platform provides critical value in helping you rapidly respond to audit inquiries that may otherwise require manual viewing and collation of independent system logs.
