Q: What is Identity Management (IM)?

Identity Management (IM) manages user accounts and authentication credentials across OS, DBMS, and network devices. It automates account lifecycle, password management, and permissions to enhance security and efficiency.

Q: Why is IM essential for enterprise security?

Without centralized account management, organizations risk ghost accounts, inconsistent password policies, and privilege misuse. PNPSECURE IM unifies accounts across OS, DBMS, and network devices to enforce consistent security policies.

Q: How does PNPSECURE IM work?

PNPSECURE IM automates account creation, modification, and deletion while applying unified password and permission policies. It integrates with OS, DBMS, and network devices to ensure complete visibility and control.

Q: What are the key functions of PNPSECURE IM?

Key functions include OS Account Management, DBMS Account Management, and Network Device Account Management — ensuring consistent security and lifecycle control across all systems.

Q: How does IM integrate with Unified-IAM?

PNPSECURE IM is the backbone of Unified-IAM, connecting DAC, SAC, and WAC for integrated account governance, consistent authentication, and Zero Trust compliance across enterprise systems.

What is Identity Management (IM)?

Identity Management (IM) is the process of managing user accounts and authentication credentials across operating systems, databases, and network devices.
It ensures that the right individuals have appropriate access at the right times by automating account creation, modification, password management, and deactivation.

IM is a critical foundation for any access control solution, as both DAC (Database Access Control) and SAC (System Access Control) depend on secure and consistent account management.

Why is IM essential for enterprise security?

Without centralized account management, security gaps emerge when multiple teams manage different systems independently.
This can lead to inactive (“ghost”) accounts, inconsistent password policies, and excessive privileges.
PNPSECURE IM eliminates these risks by unifying user accounts across OS, DBMS, and network devices — enforcing lifecycle policies and automating approval processes.

This approach enhances compliance, reduces administrative workload, and prevents privilege misuse or credential sharing.

How does PNPSECURE IM work?

PNPSECURE IM operates through a unified platform that automates every stage of the account lifecycle —
from registration and approval to modification and deletion — while applying consistent password and permission policies.

It integrates seamlessly with OS, DBMS, and network devices from major vendors (e.g., Cisco, Juniper) to ensure visibility and control across the entire IT environment.

What are the key functions of PNPSECURE IM?

Function	Description
OS Account Management	Manages user accounts and passwords for operating systems, improving efficiency with automated lifecycle and approval workflows.
DBMS Account Management	Centralizes user accounts across heterogeneous database systems, minimizing management points and ensuring unified policy enforcement.
Network Device Account Management	Provides account management for network devices from various manufacturers (e.g., Cisco, Juniper), ensuring consistent security policies.

How does IM integrate with Unified-IAM?

PNPSECURE IM is the backbone of the Unified-IAM framework, connecting access control (DAC, SAC, WAC) with centralized identity governance.
By unifying account management, it enables consistent authentication, authorization, and policy enforcement across all systems —
building a truly Zero Trust access control environment.

Summary

PNPSECURE IM delivers centralized, automated, and policy-driven account management across OS, DBMS, and network devices —
reducing complexity while strengthening security and operational efficiency under the Unified-IAM framework.
