Overview of ForgeRock Identity Platform

Managers plan, coordinate, regulate, and lead operations that assure compliance with laws and standards through compliance management. It is the process of continuously monitoring and evaluating systems to verify that they meet industry and security standards and corporate and regulatory policies and mandates. This entails assessing infrastructure to detect noncompliant systems due to regulatory, policy, or standard changes, misconfiguration, or other factors. Noncompliance can lead to penalties, security breaches, certification revocation, and other company consequences. Staying on top of compliance changes and updates keeps your business processes running smoothly and saves you money.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security mechanism that verifies a user's identity for a login or other transaction by requiring multiple ways of verification from separate categories of credentials. Multi-factor authentication combines two or more distinct credentials: what the user knows, such as a password; what the user owns, such as a security token; and who the user is, as determined by biometric verification methods. The purpose of multi-factor authentication is to construct a layered defense that makes it more difficult for an unauthorized person to access a target, such as a physical location, computing device, network, or database. Even if one element is compromised or damaged, the attacker still needs to get through at least one or more barriers before breaking into the target.

Single sign-on (SSO) allows users to log in to various applications with a single set of credentials, making it safe and straightforward. It's an authentication method in which users are provided only one set of login credentials to make the procedure easier. This eliminates the need for users to log in and out of different applications independently.
