Risk Modeling

Overview

Quantify Risk and Prioritize Compliance Efforts
IdentityIQ assesses security risk by user and resource across the IT environment. Using configurable algorithms, IdentityIQ calculates and assigns a unique risk score for each person who has access to critical systems and applications and can also assign risk scores to application and system resources. IdentityIQ updates risk scores continuously based on multiple factors.

Capabilities

• Prioritize Compliance Efforts – Leveraging the risk scores, managers can target the highest-risk users or systems first, improving the effectiveness of controls of their departments and, ultimately, the security and compliance of the business.
• Remediate Risk Efficiently – By viewing populations in terms of risk scores, IdentityIQ makes it easy to take immediate action to mitigate risk or remediate access violations for a single user or group of users.
• Demonstrate Performance Improvements over Time – The risk metrics available from IdentityIQ enable organizations to focus their compliance and risk management efforts moiré strategically, and allows them to quantify and demonstrate enhanced security and reduced risk to the business and track performance over time.
