Credential Consolidation: Stronger Security, Reduced Cost, Enhanced User Experience

Through standardization on a single multi-purpose credential storage container, smart cards and USB tokens can lead to cost savings, increased ease-of-use for users and improved security. The ability to reduce—via a multi-purpose smart card or USB token—the number of credentials issued makes it easier for organizations to utilize multi-factor authentication for stronger security. Users no longer need to be concerned with multiple credentials, nor remember which credential belongs to which application. Furthermore, connecting the process for granting and revoking physical and logical access helps organizations adhere to regulations that require assurances of strong authentication and access control. Auditing capabilities allow organizations to enforce and manage these requirements.

Flexibility While Maintaining Tight Control Over Policies

RSA Card Manager supports multiple credential issuance models including: bureau (large volume), batch (groups of users), individual (face-to-face) and self-service. This deployment flexibility provides organizations with the freedom to select a business-appropriate model to match their operations. RSA Card Manager software can be configured according to specific rules and policies for issuing and managing IDs ensuring that security policies map to the needs of the organization.

Easy-To-Use And Quick-To-Deploy

RSA Card Manager is extremely easy to deploy and use. Users are automatically guided, step-by-step, through issuance and management tasks using unique, patented and secure workflow technology. RSA Card Manager self-service web portal feature enables users to perform smart card and credential management functions on their own without interacting with the help desk. Users can unlock smart cards, request temporary credentials in the event that a smart card is lost, and handle digital certificate renewals. The self-service portal enables them to quickly address their needs while ensuring that they can resume their work in a timely fashion, rather than waiting in a help desk response queue.

Tight Security Controls

RSA Card Manager software provides unparalleled security for trusted, distributed credential issuance and post-issuance management. RSA Card Manager features patented security measures in which all end user actions within the RSA Card Manager solution are logged and digitally signed to ensure data integrity and non-repudiation of audit logs. Detailed audit logs of credential issuance and de-provisioning provide assurances that credentials are assigned by a trusted process and delivered to the intended receiver.
