WALTHAM, Mass. — Novell today announced that Honeywell is integrating its identity management product into Honeywell’s access control security platform to help organizations better safeguard their physical and logical assets.
The two companies have collaborated to deliver what they said is a tightly integrated secure access and provisioning solution for physical and logical assets that addresses the requirements of high-security businesses, such as financial services and health care institutions.
As a result, they said, organizations can automatically provision and control user access across disparate systems, while also gaining a view of access occurrences for increased security and compliance.
“Government regulations and increased security concerns are driving businesses to coordinate physical and logical security management,”said Kent Erickson, vice-president and general manager for Identity and Security Management at Novell. “Organizations looking for a more coordinated approach to user access management have been challenged to figure out how to easily obtain and integrate both parts of the system.Our collaboration with Honeywell allows for the distribution of a combined physical and logical security management solution from a single source, and it gives customers the confidence that both offerings work well together.”
“This is the first integrated solution to provide organizations with this level of protection for their intellectual and physical property,” said John Lorenty, general manager of Honeywell Systems Group. “Our collaboration with Novell makes it easier to combine physical and logical security access, allowing our customers to better manage security risks.”
