BoKS Access Control for Applications
What does it do?
BoKS Access Control for Applications is an enterprise solution designed to help companies control who has access to their business applications. The solution's key functions are:
-
Access to all applications is defined centrally using access policies. Administrators can instantly provision application access, or block users from accessing an application, from a remote, centralized location.
-
Organizations can also define how users should authenticate when accessing specific applications. For example: passwords for applications with a low level of risk, and stronger authentication for higher-risk applications.
-
User logon information for multiple applications can be combined in one credential, giving users secure single sign-on (SSO), speeding the login process, and minimizing problems related to managing multiple passwords.
-
All traffic between workstations and application servers is encrypted, so information in transit is protected from unauthorized access.
-
All attempts by users to access applications are recorded in a central system log instead of having multiple, scattered audit logs across applications.
- Comprehensive segregation of duties (SoD) with true cross-platform monitoring, analysis, enforcement and compliance reporting
- Automated SoD testing and approval workflow ensure compliant user provisioning
How is it used?
BoKS Access Control for Applications is typically used by organizations to provide a higher degree of control for mission-critical applications. While not all applications within an organization will normally be seen as mission-critical, applications that process sensitive business data, or data that is subject to regulatory scrutiny, will often be categorized as "high risk" applications.
These can include applications processing financial data that may be subject to accounting legislation, and applications that contain customer data that must be kept confidential. BoKS Access Control for Applications provides safeguards to data integrity since it helps ensure that only authorized users are accessing data via applications, and also delivers centralized logs that make the auditing process much easier. To further protect business applications, BoKS Access Control for Applications features comprehensive segregation of duties (SoD) with true cross-platform monitoring, analysis, enforcement and compliance reporting tools. Guided remediation tools simplify resolution of SoD issues, and automated checks for SoD combine with a configurable approval workflow capability to ensure compliant user provisioning.
BoKS Access Control for Applications delivers a powerful set of features that help organizations standardize their application controls across the enterprise. An added benefit is that organizations with a greater degree of confidence in their application controls can more easily share applications across the extended enterprise, improving collaboration and business efficiency.
What applications does it protect?
BoKS Access Control for Applications is available 'out of the box' for most common ERP and packaged business applications and data protocols. Implementing the solution does not involve changing any application configurations or logic. BoKS Access Control for Applications also comes with a Software Development Kit that enables the solution to be extended to provide controls for legacy and other customized applications.
