SecureData Security, part of JSE-listed SecureData Holdings and the leading sub-Saharan distributor for Courion Corporation, today announced that SC Magazine has recognised the latter's Enterprise Provisioning Suite as a 'Best of 2008' identity management product, describing it as 'an excellent overall product with ease of use and excellent pricing'.
Courion's solutions were recognised as a 'Best of 2008' product after receiving a perfect score overall in all six testing categories: features; ease of use; performance; documentation; support and value for money.
SC Magazine's evaluation of identity management products found that many were limited in their capabilities and only addressed a “piece of what may be loosely interpreted as identity management”.
Courion was specifically recognised for providing a solution that is:
* Fully adaptable, tailor-made identity management;
* Easy to install and manage;
* Designed to be integrated with current environments right out of the box; and
* An excellent value for the money.
The Enterprise Provisioning Suite is an example of Access Assurance, Courion's unique approach to access and compliance management that ensures only the right people have the right access to the right resources and are doing the right things. Access Assurance unifies Access Governance, Access Provisioning and Access Compliance in even the most complex, heterogeneous environments. This comprehensive approach increases operational efficiency and transparency, strengthens security, and improves compliance, while delivering the industry's fastest time to value and lowest total cost of ownership.
