Sydney, Australia, July 18, 2007 – Imprivata, the new approach to Identity and Access Management is available now to Australian customers through its local distributor Unixpac.

Imprivata OneSign is an easy, smart and affordable appliance that provides user authentication and access management to IT networks, applications and IT/Building security.  OneSign helps organizations improve security access management and compliance, while maximizing user convenience and productivity.

"Identity management is quickly becoming important issue in IT today." - said Tom Piotrowski, managing director of Unixpac. " We have all seen the increase in on-line scams and identity theft so, for identity management to work, it needs to be done in well designed, secure environment. We all seem to be concerned with managing passwords amidst increasing regulatory pressure, rising security threats, and end-user frustration with passwords.  Over the past few years we have seen many products on the market attempting to address the issue, but no one other than Imprivata could demonstrate that solution to increase security and achieve regulatory compliance while lowering help desk costs and improving productivity can be done in efficient, robust and easy to implement way.", Piotrowski has added.

There are numerous advantages of Imprivata solution over some and other products in identity management space. Imprivata OneSign integrates Single Sign-On (SSO) security with Authentication Management and finally Physical - Logical into a single, purposely built and easy to install appliance, something that is not offered currently by anyone else.

OneSign Single Sign-On (SSO) quickly and effectively solves password management and user access issues.  OneSign Single Sign-On enables ALL applications: legacy, client/server and web - without requiring any custom scripting, changes to existing directories, or inconvenient end-user work flow changes.  OneSign Single Sign-On dramatically lowers Help Desk costs associated with forgotten password resets, increases user productivity and satisfaction, strengthens password security and support regulatory compliance initiatives.

OneSign Authentication Management replaces Windows and remote access VPN passwords with a broad range of strong authentication options, including finger biometrics, smart cards, proximity cards, USB tokens and One-Time-Password tokens.  OneSign provides greater security through flexible user authentication management through the network locally, via remote VPN or while working offline.

OneSign Physical/Logical integrates building and network access system for unified enterprise security management.  Beyond simplicity leveraging the building access badge, OneSign Physical/Logical consolidates identities between physical access systems and IT directories to enable one converged policy for allowing or denying network access based on a user's physical location, role and/or employee status.
