Waveset Supports Oracle Identity Management

Waveset, a leading provider of innovative identity management solutions, announced immediate availability of an integrated identity management solution for Oracle environments. The solution, which integrates Oracle Identity Management with Waveset Lighthouse, allows organizations to implement identity provisioning, Web single sign-on and enforcement capabilities across diverse enterprise environments. By linking the various components that utilize identity information across enterprises, the joint solution helps to deliver on the vision of an Identity Grid, which enables enterprises to conduct business securely and expeditiously across all types of computing infrastructures and application environments.

The integration between Waveset Lighthouse and Oracle Identity Management helps organizations achieve the vision of an Identity Grid by creating a coordinated network of services for accessing, sharing and managing identity data across Oracle and non-Oracle environments. Specific benefits provided by the integrated solution include:

• Enhanced security: Waveset Lighthouse provides an up-to-the-minute unified view of user access privileges across the Oracle environment, as well as all other enterprise resources. Instant revocation of access privileges as relationships change or terminate help keep the environment secure from unauthorized access.
• Reduced cost and increased ease-of-use: Automated account management, delegated administration and self-service capabilities such as password reset reduce the cost associated with administering users across Oracle and other enterprise systems.
• Improved quality of service: Rapid synchronization of user account provisioning between Oracle and all other digital resources, including operating systems, VPNs, databases, e-mail systems and mainframes dramatically improves response time in providing employees, customers, partners and contractors with the resources they need to do their jobs.
• Improved auditability: By auditing and reporting on all automated and manual activities conducted through the system, Waveset Lighthouse can improve performance, enhance security and assist customers with legislative compliance associated with Sarbanes-Oxley, Gramm-Leach- Bliley and HIPAA.

"Waveset views its partnership with Oracle as a key component in delivering on our vision of the Identity Grid," said Mark McClain, president and founder at Waveset. "Moving forward Waveset continues to build its competitive advantage in supporting the Identity Grid through ongoing product development, partner integration, and a focus on automating the processes associated with identity management."
