"Using Identity Management to Achieve Security and Compliance" Sun Solutions Address Economic, Technological Challenges Ensuring the security of sensitive information and achieving compliance with global regulatory requirements are among the most critical and daunting challenges facing organizations today. For secure identity management, corporations need well thought-out plans and solutions that incorporate everything from user provisioning and password management to access control and enterprise-wide auditing and reporting. One of the greatest challenges is that organizations are driven to operate in a more open and flexible environment, and yet remain secure and compliant. Of course, effectiveness and cost efficiency are always of concern. Sun understands these concerns and is aggressively addressing them with several product offerings designed with identity management in mind. These products include the Sun JavaTM System Identity Manager, the Sun JavaTM System Access Manager, the Sun JavaTM System Directory Server Enterprise Edition and the Sun JavaTM System Identity Auditor. In a Sun white paper entitled "Using Identity Mangement to Achieve Security and Compliance," the issue of identity management is detailed along with how the company's current product offerings apply. The specific Sun solutions covered include: Sun Java System Identity Manager
