Announcing the Release of SecurID Governance & Lifecycle 7.5.2

[#1]

Summary

The SecurID Governance & Lifecycle team is pleased to announce the release and general availability of SecurID Governance & Lifecycle v7.5.2!

The SecurID Governance & Lifecycle solution helps organizations eliminate and proactively mitigate identity and access risks and gaps across cloud and on-premises applications by improving their access assurance posture using a governance-led approach focused on the following three core 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 SecurID 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.

Highlighted below are a number of key solution updates contained in this release. Please see the SecurID Governance & Lifecycle v7.5.2 Release Notes for additional information about the contents of this release.

New features and capabilities being introduced with the SecurID Governance & Lifecycle 7.5.2 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 server 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 have 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.
• 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.
