ConductorOne Extends Next-Gen IGA Platform With Separation of Duties Policy Automation
With New Access Conflicts Capabilities, ConductorOne Now Provides a Complete, Enterprise-Ready IGA Solution for Modern Businesses
PORTLAND, Ore. – May 14, 2024 – ConductorOne, the leader in identity security and access governance, today announced ConductorOne Access Conflicts, a new solution that automates Separation of Duties (SoD) policies to simplify compliance and improve security across complex access environments. Unlike other solutions that require users to perform manual queries or run and compare user access reviews, ConductorOne automatically and continuously tracks, detects, and notifies users of SoD policy violations. This allows businesses to easily achieve compliance with regulatory frameworks, protect against fraud and error, and improve security without sacrificing productivity.
“ConductorOne was built to bring order to the chaos of modern access environments,” said Alex Bovee, co-founder and CEO of ConductorOne. “With solutions like Access Conflicts, we’re providing enterprises with powerful tools to improve their identity security postures and easily achieve compliance requirements. By solving these complex access challenges, we’re setting a new standard as the modern, lightweight alternative to legacy IGA solutions.”
ConductorOne connectors ingest fine-grained access and identity data from cloud, on-premises, and homegrown applications and infrastructure to provide full visibility into complex environments, allowing for more precise cross-application SoD controls. To create an Access Conflicts policy, users begin by selecting a group of entitlements as well as the conflicting set of entitlements. When a conflict is detected, users are immediately notified and can remediate or exempt conflicting access. All Access Conflicts activity is logged for easy auditing and reporting.
“ConductorOne’s Access Conflicts tool helps us easily minimize the risk of misuse when it comes to people having access to things they shouldn’t,” said Austin Hirsch, GRC manager at Deepwatch. “It alerts us when there is a conflict and allows us to remediate quickly, as necessary.”
Simplify Compliance With Regulatory and Certification Frameworks
Separation of Duties is a key requirement of many regulatory and certification frameworks, including Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) regulations for publicly traded companies, the FDA’s 21 CFR Part 11 rule for many medical research and manufacturing companies, and ISO 27001 certification to demonstrate adherence to internationally recognized information security best practices. However, in today’s complex access environments, managing SoD is a non-human-scale task. ConductorOne Access Conflicts enables companies to easily define, automatically detect, and quickly remediate SoD violations and provide accurate audit trails that demonstrate SoD compliance to auditors and certifiers.
Proactively Protect Against Fraud and Error
SoD policies are a crucial internal security safeguard to prevent the misuse of information and instances of human error. Leveraging ConductorOne Access Conflicts, businesses can set up automated policies to track find-grained roles and permissions across applications. These policies will then automatically detect any SoD violations that would otherwise be time-consuming or even impossible to detect manually.
Enhance Security Without Sacrificing Productivity
Through automation and analytics, Access Conflicts policies enable real-time tracking, detection, and remediation of SoD violations—eliminating the need for complicated, time-consuming manual processes that create friction between security and efficiency. Used in tandem with ConductorOne’s powerful access control capabilities, including automated just-in-time (JIT) access, self-service access requests, and automatic approval and provisioning, Access Conflicts policies allow companies to establish dynamic SoD processes that maximize both security and efficiency.
