Applied Identity Provides Virtualization Capability to US Department of Justice

(Jan 08,2008)-- Applied Identity announced that it has teamed with SRA International to provide the Department of Justice with an identity virtualization capability that it can use across multiple Active Directory domains. A key element in creating a trusted environment for information sharing, Applied Identity's ID-Unify product is a key part of broad identity management initiatives ongoing within the Department.

ID-Unify, released in May 2007, consolidates disparate identity stores to create a secure, single user identity - allowing each individual domain owners to retain complete control of their own identity sources. The ability to provide a single authoritative source of identity can simplify the process of information sharing, access policy creation and auditing of user access to mission critical resources. ID-Unify provides a cost effective and rapidly deployable solution to help enable the identity aware network.

"The need for having a common enterprise identity is becoming a top priority in maintaining network integrity, sharing information, and meeting government requirements such as FISMA and DITSCAP," said Brian Nugent, President and CEO of Applied Identity.

Applied Identity is a provider of enterprise-class, identity aware networking solutions that enable organizations to audit, unify, define and enforce global access policies based on user identity. AI's appliance-based solutions provide network segmentation, remote access authorization and the protection of critical assets to streamline compliance and reduce business risk. Applied Identity is the only vendor to provide a complete policy lifecycle management solution that enables global policy creation and network- level enforcement based on user identity.
