Identity Management Solutions for the major challenges of enterprise cybersecurity

Efficient identity management has become essential to mitigate cybersecurity risks faced by every company with digital assets—that is, virtually every organization today.

Preventing malicious or accidental access to a company’s digital elements—be it data, systems, or other resources—is a top priority to safeguard organizational integrity. This mission is achieved through identity and access management (IAM), though it must address major challenges. To meet them, Soffid IAM provides a set of security solutions that solve complex problems without undermining business operations.

Cybersecurity Challenges and Soffid Identity Management Solutions

Identity and access management involves tackling different problems in ways that are viable for companies, regardless of their structure, size, or sector.

The Need for Unified Access

When we talk about IAM (Identity and Access Management), we refer to different types of digital identities. Each identity is defined by a set of identifiers that certify authorization to access certain company assets. Therefore, whenever access is requested, it must be verified that the identity is indeed who it claims to be, using different authentication tools. In addition, to mitigate security risks, access must be monitored so that unauthorized attempts can be detected and addressed.

Identity management requires solutions that authorize, authenticate, and audit access across multiple profiles—efficiently and cost-effectively. 

SOFFID SOLUTION: At Soffid IAM, we approach identity management from the perspective of access unification. We offer a customized solution based on the convergence of multiple systems into a single management platform. This radically simplifies the IAM ecosystem without sacrificing effectiveness. Unified access reduces implementation, licensing, and maintenance costs; provides full visibility over identities, access, and risks; minimizes friction and operational duplications; and enables immediate response to cybersecurity threats.

Challenges in Access Administration

Access unification alone is not enough; identity management requires ongoing access administration throughout the entire identity lifecycle—when profiles are defined and authorized, at each authentication, upon detecting unauthorized access, during changes such as onboarding or termination, and more. This access management is highly complex and involves multiple processes.

SOFFID SOLUTION: The convergence of centralized IAM management solutions optimizes all processes, enhancing both security and efficiency. Soffid Access Management (AM) and Password Management (PM) provide single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) so users can access assets quickly and securely. With Soffid Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), processes can be automated while embedding corporate policies and regulatory requirements to ensure compliance. As a result, administration time is reduced, operational efficiency increases, and both internal and external audits are greatly simplified.

Preventing Cybersecurity Risks

The primary goal of identity management is to protect company security. Nowadays, most cyberattacks target identities, impersonating them to gain illicit access. At the same time, users need to access resources to perform their roles—whether manager, administrative staff, client, supplier, or partner. Therefore, a system is needed that grants access while keeping it always under control.

SOFFID SOLUTION: To prevent cybersecurity risks, Soffid solutions integrate secure identification and authentication tools, access control, guaranteed regulatory compliance, and proactive risk detection through real-time monitoring (Soffid ITDR). These solutions integrate seamlessly with existing company systems, providing unified end-to-end protection.

Protecting Sensitive Assets

Cyberattacks are increasingly sophisticated. It is no longer enough to integrate user-level protection tools; identity management must also include access to sensitive assets, such as those required by CIOs, CISOs, or executive accounts. These identities demand an extra security layer to prevent exposure to potential attacks.

SOFFID SOLUTION: In addition to the Soffid solutions mentioned, other tools are available to protect sensitive assets while integrating smoothly into the same single management platform. For instance, Soffid Privileged Access Management (PAM) secures privileged accounts, while the Identity Analytics module—a Business Intelligence applied to IAM (BIM) solution—uses monitoring and identity management data to support strategic decisions in cybersecurity and business operations.

Every company has unique needs. Soffid adapts its solution accordingly, with one constant goal: ensuring secure and efficient identity management. Request a personalized free trial to discover how Soffid IAM can simplify identity management while strengthening security.
