ManageEngine To Scale Identity And Access Management Platform, Improve Enterprise Cybersecurity

Large enterprises today face a major challenge of managing various tools with widespread, fragmented data. A Gartner report highlights the need for large organisations to optimise their cybersecurity toolsets for efficiency and security, while balancing selections for an average of 45 cybersecurity tools available from over 3,000 vendors.

Although enterprises often operate in multi-vendor IT environments out of necessity, this is an added complexity that leads to fragmented identities, resulting in delays in access and increased IT overhead.

To help overcome these challenges, ManageEngine, a provider of enterprise IT management solutions, is expanding the prebuilt integrations on its identity and access management platform. Its AD360 platform has added over 100 new prebuilt integrations in a bid to strengthen its converged IAM platform capabilities.

In addition to the extension of support to HRMS, ITSM, SIEM, and other enterprise applications, AD360 also comes with REST API capabilities for custom integration with third-party and in-house applications.

AD360's integrations leverage industry-standard protocols—including SCIM, SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), OAuth 2.0, and REST APIs—enabling seamless compatibility across diverse IT ecosystems. Through an intuitive no-code configuration interface, IT teams can establish connections and design automated workflows without specialised programming knowledge, accelerating implementation timelines.

According to ManageEngine, its integration network for identity access management enables:

Accelerated Value Realisation: Enterprises can quickly integrate and automate identity workflows, reducing operational costs and errors, and enhancing productivity through unified life cycle management and real-time identity synchronisation.

Flexibility And Choice: Enterprises are free to integrate with a range of enterprise applications without vendor lock-ins, ensuring compatibility, scalability, and support for diverse business needs.

Advanced Identity Automation: AD360 can implement no-code identity orchestration processes to automate critical activities such as user provisioning, access modifications, identity synchronisation, and secure offboarding across a company’s identity ecosystem.

Zero-Gap Compliance: The platform automatically aligns identity records across HR, IT, and security systems to pass audits.

“Our vision is to eliminate identity fragmentation and radically simplify enterprise identity governance,” said Manikandan Thangaraj, vice president at ManageEngine. “With this release, we want to help our customers transform identity management from an operational burden into a strategic enabler of productivity, agility, and security. Now, a hospital can auto-provision clinician access in Epic EHR the same day they’re hired in Workday, with no coding and no delays.”
