Members of Aveksa's executive team will also be on hand at the conference to discuss the capabilities of the Enterprise Access Governance Platform at booth #G1.

It is comprised of the Aveksa Compliance Manager, which automates the monitoring, reporting, certification and remediation of user entitlements; the Aveksa Role Manager, which enables role discovery, modeling and maintenance; and the new Aveksa Access Request and Change Manager, which combines a business-centric interface and an automated, streamlined request process with policy controls to ensure that access is appropriate.

With the Aveksa Access Governance Platform, organizations can efficiently address security and regulatory demands through a collaborative process that automates manual tasks, enforces accountability, provides the auditable evidence of compliance, reduces access-related business risk and creates an effective process for access delivery across the entire enterprise.
