Applied Identity addresses the problem of enterprise network resource access control. Applied Identity’s Identiforce™ policy enforcement appliance works in concert with existing authentication and directory services to provide an identity-based mechanism, which cloaks all network resources except those explicitly allowed to any user or group. If a resource can’t be seen or accessed, it cannot be compromised. Data integrity, protection from worms, and unauthorized access are all prevented with the Applied Identity solution. As opposed to existing approaches which rely on physical segmentation and enforcement by resources’ network addresses, the Identiforce platform binds user identity to network resource usage independent of location, platform, or connection type. Instead of a gauntlet of expensive internal firewalls, a single Identiforce™ appliance can address the security needs of even large organizations in an elegant and extremely cost effective manner.
