Access Management
Ideally "access" is the authorized physical and logical means to information assets while "management" is the measure that protects the information against unauthorized access. Organizations face many challenges to find the balance not only between access and control but also access management cost and convenience. While threats to privacy of information assets from outside hackers certainly exist data suggests a more severe threat i.e. unauthorized use or disclosure by an organization's employees is likely to be high. This threat is usually caused by a number of factors including poor training, stress, lack of integrated hardware and software, legacy systems, or too many applications or systems requiring separate authentication. Not only are these conditions pervasive throughout industry but their likely occurrence could also lead to serious consequences such as criminal and civil penalties, loss of reputation, loss of accreditation, and loss of federal and state dollars.

Assessment Services
Assess Strategy and Risk, Policies & Procedures, and Infrastructure with respect to specific regulatory security standards. Depending on the project scope and complexity any assessment may be omitted or combined according to the organization's life cycle position and needs. Assessment deliverables include a GAP analysis report detailing vulnerabilities of, and threats to people, procedures, and infrastructure that are responsible for protecting information availability, confidentiality, and integrity.

Authentication, Authorization, and Audit Solutions
While best practices require implementation of risk and access management standards most organizations do not understand the authentication, authorization, and audit technologies that will facilitate protecting valuable information assets. In addition organizations will be challenged to use many new technologies to address rules standards which their legacy systems cannot fulfill, however most emerging legacy technologies; are incompatible, require integration, or are evolving too rapidly for organizations to understand. Once having assessed these technologies with subsequent implementation plans industry senior managers will be faced with balancing business and regulatory costs.
Laurus' solutions not only mitigates these risks but also positions organizations to achieve the positive goals of the security best practices as well as the GLBA & HIPAA privacy and security rules vis-a-vis greater efficiency, improved productivity, and reduced cost including:
  • Reduced help costs associated with lost passwords.
  • Reduced administrative costs associated with maintenance of multiple segregated authenticated methods.
  • Reduced user frustration associated with required of multiple non-integrated authentication methods including passwords, proximity cards, smart cards, and tokens.
  • Reduced error and increased user productivity.
  • Reduced security risks associated with the inappropriate application of weak authentication.
  • Firewalls, Anti-Virus, Web Filtering, Intrusion Detection
