Oracle Combines Its Identity Management Offerings
Oracle Corp. is merging its entire identity management product portfolio under one umbrella, featuring a single licensing model to spearhead the introduction of the software giant’s new Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite on Tuesday.
Currently available, Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite is composed of Oracle‘s acquired and homegrown ID management technology, including fresh integration with Thor Technologies and OctetString in November.
Oracle is positioning its new suite as a comprehensive offering capable of addressing a wide range of user Web access control, user provisioning, ID administration, directory services, federated identity management, and virtual directory technology management, according to Wynn White, senior director of Security and ID management for Redwood Shores, Calif.-based Oracle.
White says that in 2006, organizations that have already tackled ID management will be forced to take the next step: separating access roles and taking a much closer look at how the areas of compliance and federation affect their business processes, partners, and internal employees’ contact with highly sensitive data.
“A lot of large organizations have addressed access control needs; now they’re saying, ‘How do we get more out of this? How do we get greater increased efficiency?’ and obviously a way to do that is by tying applications to partners,” White said.
“You go forward looking at trends to come; surely compliance will continue to be top of mind as well as privacy issues.”
