This powerful security software has major implications for any organisation needing to keep the data flowing but targeted and, where appropriate, safe from unauthorised access. Take the example of a middle management company employee, Bill, who requires Intranet access from his desktop computer and from his portable when he is travelling. Once this part of the process is complete, Bill receives a 'token' which identifies his position and seniority in the organisation and gives him appropriate access to his company's Web contents. If Bill is promoted or leaves the company, his successor can immediately assume the role characteristics defined for the position. The benefits are clear.
Intranets contain sensitive and confidential data.
At the moment, access to those Intranets is controlled by who the users are. When you are talking about a thousand plus users, that can be impossible to control. With TrustedWeb identification is based on a user's functions and requirements, which can often be similar or even the same. The data is stored on the security server and access is granted to individual users according to this data. This ease of administration enables the organisation to greatly reduce the cost of administering security.
