The MSSP guide to ForgeRock

ForgeRock identity management holds emphasis on security by defining password policies, integrating a workflow engine for profile updates, and logging every single user activity. The entire identity life cycle is automated whether it’s for consumers, workforce, or things, delivering an exceptional user experience and increased productivity without compromising security.

Implementing a wide range of authentication measures:
ForgeRock Access Management implements different authentication measures like, secure multi-factor authentication (MFA) or two-factor authentication (2FA) methods. The solutions ranges from frictionless and password less options, to Social Login, to the most secure biometrics and NIST 800-63 assurance level requirements.
One Platform, Any Cloud:
ForgeRock offers flexible options like on premise, cloud, or hybrid deployments. For cloud, ForgeRock provides three individual environments (development, testing, and production) for the cost of a single license. ForgeRock also provides necessary DevOps tools so that developers do not expend effort building their own tools to move configurations between environments.
The ForgeRock Containerized Directory Difference:
ForgeRock is one of the few unique vendors that support deploying Directory Services in containers. This approach can lower IT costs and create a more consistent wat to scale directories within and across your data centres and cloud platforms. ForgeRock Directory Services will keep identity-related data- secure and available at lightning speed to the users and applications that make use of it.
API Security to protect against malicious activity:
Cybercriminals also target unsecured APIs. An API breach could be caused by a lack of authorization and insight into system health. With ForgeRock Identity Gateway can protect your APIs and users by leveraging a gateway to front APIs. Identity Gateway is used to monitor API traffic, throttle traffic volume, and detect anomalies to help maintain healthy services and protect against breaches and distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
Amidst the growing concerns around cybersecurity, a system like IAM provides assurance to organizations by managing employee activity. The ability to allow only certain employees to view programs and applications will strengthen both security and operational programs for an organization. ForgeRock Identity Platform provides this exactly and implementing the different products offered by ForgeRock is critical to help organizations meet industry compliance requirements and help save costs by reducing the time needed to manage user account-related complications.
