Thwart identity theft with Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM)

WHAT IS MICROSOFT IDENTITY MANAGER?

Cloud-ready identities

Automatically prepare Active Directory identities for synchronisation with Azure Active Directory.

Powerful self-service

Password reset with Azure Multi-Factor Authentication, dynamic groups with approvals and redesigned certificate management.

Enhanced security

Hybrid reporting and privileged access management to protect admin accounts, and support for new security protocols.

BENEFITS

Common identity

Simplify identity lifecycle management with automated workflows, business rules and easy integration with heterogeneous platforms across the datacentre and cloud. Automate identity and group provisioning based on business policy and implement workflow-driven provisioning through a single interface. Extend Microsoft Identity Manager to support new scenarios through the Visual Studio and .NET development environments.

Protect data

Discover and map permissions across multiple systems to individual, assignable roles. Use role mining tools to discover permission sets for users across the enterprise to be later modeled and applied centrally. Increase visibility into compliance and the security state of systems across the organisation with in-depth auditing and reporting.

Enable users

Allow users to self-remediate identity issues, including group membership, smart card and password reset functions. An easy-to-use interface delivers increased productivity and satisfaction.

Unify access

Reduce the number of usernames and passwords needed to login. Ensure admin accounts are only going where they need to go and doing what they need to do. Groups can automatically update their membership to ensure only the right people have access to your resources.
