Attestation of Identity Information

Overview This Oracle white paper discusses the fundamental premise of attestation and the role of identity management in achieving cost-effective, sustainable compliance. Attestation is the requirement that management periodically certifies that only appropriate individuals have accessed sensitive information. While the cost of complying with the provisions of regulations like Sarbanes Oxley is high, the cost of non-compliance is even higher. Fortunately, today's robust identity management (IdM) solutions are reducing the overall cost of compliance providing automated processes to maintain a comprehensive audit trail of historical user privileges, including when, why, and through which systems information was accessed. Any IT decision maker who's seeking an end-to-end security solution that supports regulatory compliance will benefit from informative white paper from Oracle.
