FRAMINGHAM, Mass. -- Courion(R) Corporation, the provisioning specialist, today announced a technology partnership with Trusted Network Technologies, provider of identity audit and access control solutions that establish pervasive identity, letting companies see, control and prove every user interaction with every computer, server and application. The partnership combines TNT's innovative identity audit and access control solutions with Courion's industry-leading enterprise user provisioning The ability for customers to change voice and data services from their carriers online without having to place the order with a human representative.

The combined technologies deliver several capabilities that will benefit companies including:

--Automated identity audit and provisioning assessment. TNT's Identity solution can identify who is interacting with which servers and applications, from what computer, and when, providing an up-front understanding of the corporate IT environment that facilitates deployment of Courion's Enterprise Provisioning Suite(TM) solutions.

--Enhanced user provisioning and policy and role management.

Courion's ability to pull data about users and their access privileges, combined with TNT's ability to show what users are actually doing on the systems, help organizations to identify the appropriate level of access when defining roles and provisioning policies.

--Stronger compliance assurance. TNT's Identity solution combined with Courion's ComplianceCourier(TM) delivers compliance policy validation and enforcement. The integrated solution can provide organizations with critical compliance information including what systems and resources users have access to, what systems and resources they should have access to, and what systems and resources they have actually used. This combination provides the richest set of audit information available today and critical information for organizations to set proper policy.
