A large financial institution used a competitive product for Web Access Management. By working with P2 Security, the company was able to determine its true Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). An analysis following the installation of maXecurity revealed annual cost savings of millions of dollars per year. In addition, by switching to maXecurity, the Return on Investment (ROI) was measured in months.
For any IT department, it is imperative to understand how your organization can
securely manage and control users’ identities. With so many employees accessing
up to thirty different resources over the Internet to do their daily jobs—often with
thirty different usernames and passwords—organizations are struggling to maintain
a secure working environment. This white paper provides an introduction to
leveraging user credentials securely through federated identity management.

Protecting ones network from hostile attacks has become a full time job. Especially today, when networks have become an easy target for hackers, intruders, abusers, Email Viruses, Worms, Trojan-horses, Phishing, Spam and DoES (Denial of Email Service).
For most companies, information security is a top priority. Demand for protecting data and employee confidentiality is only continuing to grow, especially in industries that require a regulatory-compliant environment. However, applying usernames and passwords for authentication is insufficient. While two-factor authentication is an effective security solution, traditional token-based systems have been difficult to implement and administer, leading to limited adoption.
Virtually all businesses today have work processes that dictate the need to share

This paper provides a background of federation and provisioning concepts, functional operations, and standards. A complex provisioning use case is presented to demonstrate the potential combination of SPML and SAML in a federated environment.
The modern world has an unprecedented need for security. More than ever before, sensitive information, ranging from personal account numbers to government intelligence, is stored in databases that can be accessed via the Internet, cellular phones, and other networks. This information is a target for those who wish to exploit it for illegal purposes.
