M-Tech Expands Role Based Access Control User Provisioning Features

M-Tech meets rising customer demand by incorporating RBAC and segregation of duties policy enforcement engines into ID-Synch

Calgary, Alberta, Canada - March 19, 2008 - Responding to growing interest from customers to more effectively secure user privileges and to simplify administration of user rights, M-Tech Information Technology, Inc., a leading provider of identity management software, today announced significant new RBAC features in its user provisioning solution, ID-Synch®.

The new RBAC features in ID-Synch provide a role/policy enforcement engine, available to customers as a free download that extends ID-Synch. This enables ID-Synch to identify and correct inappropriate user privileges, which violate either the RBAC model or segregation of duties policies.

"Role management is becoming a 'must have' rather than a 'nice to have' capability for identity administration in larger enterprises," according to a November 19th Gartner report by Ant Allan, titled Identity and Access Management Defined, 2008

"The new features meet growing customer demand for role-based user provisioning solutions," said Idan Shoham, Hitachi ID CTO. "We are embedding them into our core user provisioning solution, at no extra cost, to improve customer experience and lower TCO."
