An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
Traditional access control is typically too coarse-grained: either individuals or groups have pre-defined privileges or they don’t.
Entitlement management offers greater control, giving individuals and groups specific, configurable privileges for specific actions or entities.
In either case, many organizations give people too much access or too many entitlements, opening the door for inadvertent or malicious misuse.
The knee-jerk reaction to this problem is to adopt a least-privilege stance: turning off access to everything by default and then providing access or entitlements only when necessary.
Least-privilege increases security but can frustrate users and interfere with the normal operation of the business.
Trustle solves this problem by providing easily configurable, flexible, often temporary entitlements that work within least-privilege environments.
Trustle customers who had previously provided too much access to too many users can now institute greater control without lowering morale or slowing down the business.
