Core technologies

The Verify Identity Access network security management solution provides and supports several core technologies and features.

Authentication
Authentication is the first step a user must take when making a request for a resource that is protected by Verify Identity Access. During authentication, a user identity is validated.
Authorization
Authorization enforces the security policy.
Quality of Protection
Quality of Protection (QoP) is the degree to which Verify Identity Access protects any information that is transmitted between a client and a server.
Security standards configurations (compliance types)
You can configure Verify Identity Access Base components to work with various security standards, including FIPS 140-2, SP 800-131, and Suite B. These security standards meet information security requirements that are required by the government.
Scalability
Scalability is the ability to respond to increasing numbers of users who access resources in the domain. Verify Identity Access uses several techniques to provide scalability.
Accountability
Verify Identity Access provides several logging and auditing capabilities to increase accountability for server activity.
Centralized management
Verify Identity Access uses two user interfaces to manage security policies and the Verify Identity Access servers.
