Oracle Unveils New HIPAA Compliant Security Product

(Oct 22, 2007)-- Oracle announced general availability of Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 10g, a new integrated offering within Oracle Identity Management and a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware. A comprehensive solution designed to prevent online identity theft and fraud, Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 10g features a number of enhancements including: turnkey Knowledge-Based Authentication and system monitoring dashboard features, increased support for financial and retail compliance requirements, a hot-pluggable architecture and tight integration with Oracle Access Manager.

Driven by regulatory mandates such as FFIEC, PCI and HIPAA, organizations are increasingly under pressure to reduce fraud and provide higher levels of assurance of users' identity and their usage intent. Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 10g helps streamline compliance by providing organizations with comprehensive, integrated authentication and fraud solutions to simplify deployment and strengthen their security through multi-factor authentication and proactive, real-time fraud prevention. A pure Web-based security offering, Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 10g can be deployed in Oracle and non-Oracle environments and layered with an organization's existing authentication security architecture, such as hardware-based security tokens, smart cards and PKI authentication schemes.

-- Tight Integration with Oracle Fusion Middleware: native support for Oracle Identity Management, including Oracle Access Manager and Oracle Application Server, provides richer validation of identity data and
streamlined access and authentication for Oracle's enterprise applications.
