Consistent definition and enforcement of network access policies for privileged administrative users is essential to secure today’s enterprise networks. Administrative (or ‘super’) users represent the single largest unsecured community with access to proprietary networks and include both internal IT staff and external users such as equipment vendors, software maintenance personnel and Managed Service Providers.

ION Networks’ ION Secure™ PRIISMS Administrator Portal provides a centralized platform for administrative security policy definition and control. PRIISMS provides scalable functionality to define and manage the 5A’s of infrastructure security for the enterprise network: Access, Authentication, Authorization, Auditing and Administration.

By providing a single, secure and auditable gateway for all administrator channel access, corporations can assure protection of their most critical business assets. Since PRIISMS serves as a single portal for administrative access by operational IT staff and third party contractors, businesses can compliment existing application security policies and address threats from highly privileged users with access to core business infrastructure.

ION Secure PRIISMS provides the following robust features and functionality to ensure enterprise network security through administrative channels:
Secure Access via VPN/VPDN
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Multi-factor authentication
Multi-level Authorization
Real-time event definition and notification
Policy definition and enforcement
Ease of deployment
OSS compatibility

Optional PRIISMS components:

Authentication Gateway Module (AGM)

PRIISMS AGM allows external RADIUS-based authentication servers to be used to
determine user validity. This allows existing investment in tokens and authentication
servers to be leveraged in the overall ION Secure implementation. Use of PRIISMS
AGM is specified on a user-by-user basis, enabling the use of multiple authentication
techniques, including ION Secure Soft Tokens, RSA SecurID® or ActivCard®.
