Automating User Authentication:

Resolving user identity information has always been a critical part of managing corporate networks and securing data resources. With regulatory demands for better logging and internal controls, companies are searching for more efficient ways of tracking and recording user activity and event logs.

A10 Networks' IDentity Proxy Service is a revolutionary new technology designed to automate identity resolution with existing logging and reporting systems. IDentity Proxy Service speeds troubleshooting and forensic activities and automates compliance and internal control requirements to simplify IT processes.

Traditional methods of correlating network activity to individuals have always been difficult and time consuming - manually researching MAC and TCP/IP addresses and trying to correlate them with entries from multiple logs stored on different systems. This requires many interim steps involving multiple network services and IT personnel - often taking hours and increasing the risk of security

Automating Identity Resolution:

IDentity Proxy Service provides fast and automated identity correlation for virtually any 3rd party application needing identity resolution for IP or MAC addresses. To ensure fast deployment, A10 has developed a secure and standard-based backend with multiple client approaches.

IP addresses to user information. IDentity Proxy Service can be used for both real-time and batched identity resolution. Real-time identity resolution provides tight integration with critical monitoring and alerting services to provide instant identification - benefiting mission critical monitoring and alerting systems as well as ad-hoc reporting applications.

For IT professionals responsible for investigating and resolving critical network and security events, having user identity at the same time an alert is received can make the difference between stopping a problematic event and allowing it to succeed.

Automating user authentication is important for companies looking to automate compliance procedures. The ability to efficiently merge user identity with event logs can greatly simplify audits, improve operational efficiency, and lower compliance costs year-after-year.
