Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess 8550 Web Services Gateway

Customer Benefits

• Regulatory compliance: ensures compliance with information privacy regulations by providing consistent, corporate-wide, stateful policy enforcement and consolidated audit trails.
• Secure service governance: unique, corporate-wide, user-aware policy enforcement for information access control reduces risk and ensures that sensitive data is protected from misuse but available when and where needed.
• Identity mapping and federation: provides a single digital master identity valid internally and with business partners. Identity cross-validation allows each partner and internal IT domain to maintain its own identity store and access policy.
• Federated Business-to-Business (B2B): enhances security with a single point of control for partner access and reduces cost of ownership for integrated identity privacy.

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess 8550 WSG helps organizations increase business agility with improved security, reduce operating costs (lower cost of services with partners, lower compliance costs, reduced risk of costly security breaches) and lower TCO (increased automation of policy enforcement, lower policy management costs, lower integration costs, higher scalability) for service security and compliance for the dynamic enterprise.

The OmniAccess 8550 WSG provides a corporate-wide secure and compliant infrastructure that also lowers costs when adding new applications or during the phase of mergers and acquisitions as the feature set of runtime governance, service security, centralized authentication, authorization and audit logging is automatically applied.
