presents special challenges. While identity and authentication is highly centralized, authorization is widely distributed and implemented differently with each type of resource. For example, you may have very advanced identity management and centralized authentication through Active Directory (AD) and you can base an employee's access to a wide variety of resources across the network with a single user account in AD. However, the user's permissions to those resources are...

enterprises is providing secure access, authentication, and authorization of users to all systems, regardless of platform.
