Solutions / Identity & Access Management

Make access decisions around identity, device and privilege rather than broad network reachability.

Users, devices, administrators and service accounts need different levels of access to applications, networks and critical systems. Identity and access controls help organizations apply those decisions consistently instead of relying on location or shared administrative practices.

Modern fingerprint access-control terminal representing identity and access policy enforcement.

The challenge

Understand the environment before choosing the control.

Fragmented authentication, broad privileges and inconsistent access processes can make it difficult to understand who can access what. Controls need to integrate with existing identity sources, networks and operational workflows without creating unnecessary friction for legitimate users.

Alpha Rise approach

Architecture, technology selection and delivery stay connected.

Alpha Rise reviews the access requirement and existing environment, defines the required control scope and supports implementation of relevant identity, network-access and privileged-access technologies. Product selection follows the access model and integration requirement.

Technical scope

What this solution area can include.

The exact scope depends on the existing environment, target architecture and the agreed project requirement.

Multi-factor authentication

Strengthen authentication for relevant users and systems where MFA is included in the target access architecture.

Single sign-on

Support centralized application access where SSO is appropriate to the customer’s identity and application environment.

Privileged access management

Apply stronger control and accountability to administrative or privileged access where PAM forms part of the agreed scope.

Network access control

Use user/device context and policy enforcement at the network edge where NAC is required by the access model.

Access-policy integration

Align identity, network and privileged-access controls with existing systems and operational processes.

Implementation and lifecycle support

Support deployment, integration, configuration and technical follow-up of the selected access-control technologies.

Delivery model

From requirement to a working technology environment.

Technology is selected after the requirement and architecture are understood; a vendor catalogue is not the starting point for the solution story.

  1. Understand users, devices and privilege requirements
  2. Define target access-control model
  3. Select and license required technologies
  4. Integrate with identity and network environment
  5. Validate and support operational use

Discuss the requirement

Start with the environment and target outcome, not a product list.

Share the current requirement and environment with Alpha Rise. We can then define the technical scope, target architecture and appropriate implementation path.
