IBM on Friday unveiled its Tivoli Access Manager version 6.0, which features updated auditing capabilities. The product automatically monitors and reports back to IT administrators which employees, partners and customers are accessing company applications and whether they are entitled to gain access to that specific application.
The Tivoli upgrade also gathers the data in a centralized location and is designed to automatically generate compliance reports. The companies submit these reports to federal regulators as part of mandated requirements, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
It is safe to say that nearly everything about managing customer specific requirements is a hassle. If you're an auditor, how do you know what customer specific requirements exist so that you can audit against them? If you're the customer, how do you distribute them efficiently?
