Identity and Access Management (IAM)

TALANGS, with its expertise in Identity and Access Management and Mobile Device Management, is helping major product vendors and ISVs in building on-premise and SaaS-based products, providing solutions in IAM and BYOD since several years.

As smartphones, tablets and phablets are becoming an integral part of an individual, more and more companies are framing their BYOD strategy, providing enough flexibility to the employees, and at the same time, ensuring the organization's data is secured and uncontaminated. To facilitate this, organizations need the right tools to manage it without restricting the end-user experience. Mobile Device Management (MDM) is one such tool. This framework can be used to strengthen mobile device security and data protection. The technology effortlessly enables IAM capabilities to be extended to mobile devices and mobile apps.

Our capability helps organizations manage access to information and applications scattered across internal and external application systems. It also helps organizations provide access for growing number of identities, both inside and outside the organization, without compromising on security or exposing sensitive data. 

TALANG's IAM Framework 

TALANG's IAM framework addresses numerous mission-critical needs to provide appropriate access across varied technology environments and meet increasing compliance requirements. Our solution in this area is business-aligned and helps enterprises develop mature IAM abilities for their business initiatives. 

• Authentication: Our authentication system helps check the identity of the user, who the user claims to be, and while the user is accessing a system resource. TALANG's IAM allows Single-Sign-On as a special mechanism, where users need not repeatedly log-in to access another application or resource governed under the same IAM Framework.

• Authorization: The authorization system verifies the right access for the right resource. The policies are configured in the policy store or the policy control server. TALANG's authorization is the core area that implements role-based access control. Moreover, the authorization model provides complex access controls based on data or information or policies, including user attributes, user roles / groups, actions taken, access channels, time, resources requested, external data and business rules.

• User Management: Our IAM offers efficient User Management functions that can be centralized or distributed to the corresponding departmental units. This helps an enterprise to solve its problems locally with diversified workforce. Self-service is another important feature of user management. Through self-profile management like password reset, one can make sure that identity data is accurate all the time.

• Central User Repository: TALANGS has created user repository with the provision to store comprehensive user information like email id, group to which the user belongs, contact number, address, etc. Protection and management of user data is of high importance. When a user tries to access the application, it sends a request to the central user repository to check the user identity and gives access if the credential is valid. The solution provides user repository creation, and the maintenance is separated from the application that uses it.

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) or Internet of Things (IoT) is the convergence of technologies to provide simple solutions to complex problems. Simply speaking, it refers to data communication between two or more machines. However, it can solve a wide-range of problems in areas such as Telemetry, Telemedicine, Warehouse Management, Remote Control, Robotics, Traffic Control, Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Fleet Management, etc.

TALANGS views M2M solutions with a unique approach. Our solution in this area can be well partitioned into four basic stages that are common to any M2M application.

• Collection of data over a Personal Area Network (PAN)
• Transmission of the collected data through a communication network – Telecom or Wireless Telecom Network and Internet
• Intelligent processing of the data based on business logic – Application
• Presentation of the available information – Application
