Access Analyzer, introduced in the Washington release of ServiceNow, greatly improves access management for companies. Its two new features, Evaluate Access and Compare Access, give organizations stronger security and compliance. What problems do these features solve, and what benefits do they bring?
Evaluate Access
Evaluate Access checks which resources an individual user or user group can access and shows the result in real time. Administrators can instantly see the permissions a specific user has and quickly find out whether any inappropriate permissions have been granted. This feature is also a great help in security audits and compliance checks.
Compare Access
Compare Access compares and analyzes the permissions of two users. You can check whether employees in the same role or job have consistent permissions, and find permissions that are excessive or missing. It is especially useful for quickly confirming that the right permissions are set when onboarding new employees or when roles change.
Impact on your business
Efficient auditing and management of permissions
Evaluate Access and Compare Access make permission management faster and more accurate, which reduces security risks caused by human error.
Better security and compliance
Because you can immediately identify inconsistent or inappropriate permissions, the risk of security breaches and compliance issues goes down.
Better use of resources
Giving the right people the right permissions lets the company use its resources efficiently and improves overall productivity.
With Access Analyzer, ServiceNow takes a big step forward in helping companies manage access. By using these features, organizations can expect to run more safely and efficiently.
