Highlighted below are a number of key solution updates contained in this release. Please see the SecurID Governance & Lifecycle Cloud Release Notes for additional information about the contents of this release.

SecurID Governance & Lifecycle Cloud:

• Is a subscription-based, hosted, managed, full-featured IGA solution in the cloud, offered in three tiers.
• Allows customers to focus on delivering business value for continuous risk-based compliance for those highest value projects that directly benefit the business without having to focus on operations/infrastructure management.
• Allows customers to adopt and transition to a cloud-first approach for IAM.
• Provides monitoring, alerting and remediation of critical events – from services to governance processes, such as collections, workflows, and review campaigns.
• Includes a yearly business systems review and health check to ensure optimal governance processes.

This allows focus on:

• Providing visibility and insights across cloud and on-premises applications to ensure appropriate levels of access, and quickly addressing risky access.
• Ensuring appropriate access with access reviews and certification campaign management for compliance adherence.
• Removing inappropriate access and reducing risks by implementing access and segregation of duty (SoD) policies.
• Automatically and cost-effectively provision and deprovision access in a timely fashion using Joiner-Mover-Leaver policies.
• Providing a simple, easy-to-use access request and approval process for business users.
• Ensuring access alignment and simplification of access for reviews, requests and polices with role mining and management.

The SecurID Governance & Lifecycle Cloud solution helps organizations eliminate and proactively mitigate identity and access risks and gaps by improving their access assurance posture using a governance-led approach focused on the following three areas:

• Risk-Based Access Assurance – A continuous risk-based access assurance model that incorporates both identity and access analytics to help organizations mitigate their digital access risks by ensuring the highest levels of insights, confidence, and assurance across their most critical and sensitive assets.
• Business User Experience - A simple, informed and guided business user experience that helps business users focus on what is truly important and understand the risk (and impact) by surfacing additional rich context, highlighting areas of importance and prioritization of higher risk items. This unique experience lessens the burden of Identity management and governance processes on the business.
• Customer Success – We’re making it easier to deploy, manage, operate, maintain and expand your RSA solution through new capabilities and solutions that help enable quick and efficient implementation and operation of your core identity management processes - coupled with metrics that highlight ongoing business value.

New features and capabilities being introduced with the SecurID Governance & Lifecycle Cloud offering:

• User Interface Refresh – New SecurID branding, look and feel that provides a simple, streamlined and aesthetically improved experience.
• Provisioning Retry Logic Capabilities – Automated provisioning retry limits are now configurable at the sever level and the connector level for database and LDAP/AD connectors to allow fine tuning of connector retries to ensure automated actions occur when target platforms are unavailable. Advanced detection capabilities of specific connector messages has also been added to allow for specific retry conditions.
• Scheduling Improvements (hourly interval) – To make it easier to schedule tasks more frequently than daily, we’ve added a new hourly option to all scheduling capabilities.
• Authentication Source Improvements – Customers can now configure multiple authentication sources with explicit ordering, and when needed, can use a specific authorization URL to use a specific authentication source.
• Transitioning to G&L Cloud Utility / Report – For customers that are looking to transition to SecurID G&L Cloud, a new transition analysis report is available to provide insights and information that help make the transition smooth and easy.
• Flexible Parameterized Reporting Capabilities – Customers can now add parameters to reports to provide additional data insight, visibility and flexibility for reports and dashboards.
• In-line SQL Utility – A new in-line SQL utility has been added to allow authorized users to run SQL queries directly from within the solution, no longer requiring a database client. All activity is logged as an audit event.
