Identity and Access Management Solutions Middle East

Identity and Access Management

The current generation has seen a shift towards a more digital perspective, and this shift has led to virtual identities being far from unique, thereby intensifying the importance of permitting the assessment of these various identities and controlling the levels of access permitted to each and every identity. Companies lately have shifted their focus on ideation rather than the mere implementation of newer data-centers. These organizations operate under hybrid environments such as “On-Prem”, “Cloud” and “SaaS services” and users are now bringing their own devices, working remotely, sharing services, etc. This shift in the focus of these organizations and individuals involved has forced there to be a shift in the current methods of evaluation because the changes have made it increasingly complex to identify “Who has access to what Systems or Applications and Why?”.

Our job is to assist customers with simplifying their Identity Governance and Access Management processes, building a future-proof framework, creating roadmaps for maturity, onboard technologies, and supporting them throughout their Identity and Access Management journey.

Current Challenges

Identity Security is like an ice-berg; above the surface are the visible requirements which we can see and respond to them, but the real complexity and pain areas are hidden below the surface and that's why we treat Identity Management as a Program not a Project.

Common Challenges:

Underestimating the need for an IAM assessment with requirements, use cases and roadmaps
Not onboarding all the necessary stakeholders
Overly ambitious 'big bang' projects migrating and transferring all users to the new system

Why Paramount

With over 25 years of experience in the Information Security space in the Middle East region, Paramount has worked with several key solutions in the Identity & Access Management Space. This experience led us to the belief that Identity & Access Management is a largely untapped area of security with low levels of maturity and awareness in the markets that we serve. Hence to cater to this burgeoning need, we have a dedicated Business Unit to focus on solving our customers’ Identity & Access related challenges.

We follow the methodology of people, process and technology as the best-practice approach to understand our customer’s identity challenges and identify critical pain-points that can be prioritized based on their severity.

Our Solutions

Identity Lifecycle

Identity Lifecycle is the management of an employee's access and governance to business tools and information as they join, move or leave an organization. This mainly includes a majority of its manual processes that are quite time-consuming and error-prone, leading to the organization being exposed to unnecessary risks if an individual that is not granted access is able to access and utilize a specific system.

Paramount's Identity Lifecycle Management solutions automates this process that manages, controls, restricts an identity and grants the employees only the 'right-access' to do their jobs efficiently.

Access Governance

Also termed as IGA (Identity Governance and Administration) is the process of ensuring that the employees, contractors or third-party vendors, customers and systems are the only individuals that have the right level of access to the applications and data of an organization.

Paramount's IGA process includes managing access, ‘audit and compliance’ reporting, access certification and reviews, granular access to applications, file-shares and unstructured data. All of these will be carried out in compliance with the company's policies.

Privileged Access Management

Privileged Access Management is the process of managing and controlling the access to 'privileged-resources' by 'privileged-users or administrators' - These are the most important identities/accounts in any organization and require the principle of zero-trust, least-privilege access, continuous monitoring, password rotation, audit-logging and session recording to avoid misuse or security breaches.

Multi-Factor Authentication

Multifactor Authentication is a process that requires multiple credential confirmations before allowing access to a particular Application or System. A user is only granted access when they present multiple forms of evidence such as passwords, pins, biometric data, etc. for proof of authenticity.

Single Sign-on

SSO is a process of Identity Management that allows users to access multiple, independent and non-integrated systems through a single ID.
