The Importance of Security Management

The data that companies create, exchange, and store is one of their most valuable assets.

Whether data is being exchanged between two systems, accessed by a customer through a portal or by an employee on the internal network, information security and privacy are needed to protect data while enabling easy access and control of it to individuals.

With customers and internal users having access to their data through multiple devices and applications, increasing security without making it overly complex is critical to delivering an optimal user experience.

Zero Trust Architecture – The New Cybersecurity Mandate

Cybersecurity threats such as the Colonial Pipeline shutdown and the SolarWinds hack pushed the Biden administration to create an executive order requiring Federal government organizations to move toward a Zero Trust Architecture. This also will impact larger-scale enterprises in the near future. At its core, Zero Trust Architecture requires continuous security management of:

  • Users (corporate users, customer users)
  • Devices (servers, workstations, mobile devices)
  • Operational applications (API managers, gateway managers, databases)

Cross Security Manager (XSM) helps utilities move toward a Zero Trust Architecture by providing improved API security management, user, device and application management, and anomaly and fraud detection.

XSM’s features deliver an improved experience for both internal employees and external customers when managing how information is accessed—no matter which client device or application they use.

Security Integration Made Easy

Cross Security Manager (XSM) delivers an end-to-end a data security management approach to security integration. XSM simplifies how companies protect their data and how users engage with the data while increasing the security requirements to ensure only authorized users have access.

Today’s utilities have complex environments where internal users and customers transverse multiple domains and enterprise applications using a variety of devices and mobile applications. XSM makes it easy for companies to deliver advanced authentication protection across all applications and environments while delivering an engaging user experience that doesn’t overburden the user. XSM also simplifies the management, deployment, and lifecycle for provisioning accounts.


XSM Key Features:

Single Sign-On

Improve the user and customer experience by providing an authentication method that allows users to securely authenticate across multiple applications using one set of login credentials.

Omni-Channel

Today’s customers access their data and websites through various applications and devices, including phones, tablets, and personal computers. Omni-channel technology maximizes the number of user touchpoints while providing users with a consistent experience—no matter what device or application is used to access products or information.

Progressive Profiling

Provides companies an Intelligent approach to obtaining and collecting profile information from users without overburdening them with too many questions at once. By obtaining information in small amounts, users are more likely to stay engaged.

Risk-Based Security

XSM uses Advanced Machine Learning to detect abnormal behaviors and identify them as events requiring further investigation.

API Security Management

Applications have Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs) for accessing and exchanging data. API security adds a layer of security to help protect the company, user, and customer data from outside attacks. XSM provides a centralized API Security management solution for creating, maintaining, and auditing policies for accessing APIs.

Multi-Factor Authentication

Enhance the authentication process and increase security against breaches by requiring two or more independent verification factors.

Adaptive Authentication

An enhanced version of Multi-Factor Authentication which uses specific authentication factors that adapt to users, their location, device, habits, and situation. Each login attempt is evaluated against the criteria to create a risk score—the lower the risk, the fewer verification factors required, and visa versa.

User/Identity Provisioning and Lifecycle Management

Streamline and automate – Employ automated processes to create, manage, or revoke users, profiles, and identities. Assign requests – Automatically assign user requests for application access to specific personnel for approval. Configure your systems – Automatically activate, edit, or change the status of an account based on specific criteria.

User Profile and Identity Administration

Provide visibility - Get complete visibility and control of identity and access privileges. Detect unauthorized access - Detect and prevent unauthorized access and maintain compliance with state and federal regulations. Lifecycle management – Manage users, profiles, and identities from creation to deactivation.

Centralized User Management

Enable centralized management – Add and maintain user identity, application, and information access settings in one location. Manage passwords – Employ password rotations and self-directed password resets.

Bidirectional Access Control

Integrate access management – XSM integrates access and authentication with other networks and security solutions using the RESTful API.

Consent and Privacy Management

Consent and Privacy Management – XSM automates and simplifies privacy compliance management with a centralized platform that gives users the management and control over their preferences, permissions, and privacy.

XSM also synchronizes and tracks preferences, consent, and other privacy rights across multiple systems.

Compliance Policy Management

Corporate compliance is an essential part of any business. XSM unifies, maintains, and enforces compliance policies to mitigate risks and create a corporate compliance culture.

With XSM, you will be alerted to compliance violations and be kept up to date on corporate compliance policies and protocols.
