real-time communication and collaboration are critical in today's competitive business environment, and it is essential that an organization's technology infrastructure be as tightly integrated as possible.

standards-based interoperability is not always enough. True peace of mind comes from knowing that key components of different vendors have been tested and verified to work together in mission-critical networks.

e-mail and web services, or applications, are essential in today's business environment, and to ensure security, more and more of these applications and services require authentication and authorization of users.

yet the process of authentication and authorization can be complicated and cumbersome as each application relies on its own unique database or directory, and its own unique user log-on.

unfortunately, users and their profiles must be entered and synchronized dynamically, increasing the operating costs associated with change management. And, with a number of passwords to remember, users often rely on what is easiest, making it simple for unwanted users to gain access. In fact, the high level of human intervention required makes the process less secure overall.

With the single sign—on solution, access to different systems—operating system, network and individual applications — is possible with one password, for a system that is less complicated to administer and less cumbersome to use.

A single sign-on solution can:

• secure the infrastructure from undesirable traffic, network misuse and known threats
• provide simultaneous user authentication on active directory, network and applications — moves the authentication to where it belongs, the edge
• ensure effective management of central resources
• limit security holes when managing different user databases
• block all resources for invalid or stolen identities quickly and easily
• simplify change management with the ability to add or delete new users across all platforms in a single step
• enable easy access, with just one password, for authorized users
• reduces complexity and risk by embedding active, automated security into the network fabric
• maps business policy to network implementation
• improves visibility into the network as a single entity for faster trouble resolution
• provides secure/reliable access to internal and external users based on their roles within the organization
• delivers automation and system-level control to lower the cost of administration, implementation and troubleshooting
• enables application growth and expansion
• increases productivity through improved access to data - applications
• reduces complexity and risk by embedding active, automated security into the network fabric.
