Solving key digital identity challenges for organisations.


  • Detecting the abuse and misuse of identities.

    Most cybersecurity incidents involve the misuse and/or abuse of legitimate credentials (or credentials that have been created outside of the legitimate processes). With Talanos, identity based threats are proactively detected and remediated. We also help companies to close loopholes that can be exploited by insiders.

  • Poor customer experience.

    Regardless of the products they have purchased or which business division owns the relationship, customers believe they are dealing with one company and want a single, consolidated view of their dealings. Talanos helps companies create a simple, centralised onboarding and automated digital identity lifecycle process, enabling self-service and single sign-on (SSO) for your users.

  • Annual audit findings due to poor or missing controls.

    Internal and external auditors are looking to ensure that companies are able to produce evidence that access has been approved, is sufficient for the job to be performed, is regularly reviewed and is promptly removed when no longer needed. Talanos quickly resolves audit findings and helps close burning red items on the risk register.

  • Business believe that identities should be IT owned.

    IT enables the business and ultimately, the business should be accountable for the risks associated with the digital identities provisioned to their users. Achieving this requires slick integration of business processes with the identity lifecycle as well as a simplification of the concepts and language used by IT processes and tools. Talanos can show you how.

Privileged accounts are a special case.

Privileged access typically provisioned to system administrators and developers is a subset of identities managed by an Identity and Access Management program. Follow the below link to find out more about the use cases associated with these accounts.

Identity centric security.

Identity Governance and Administration: Administer and provision accounts and entitlements, govern identity life cycles for entities such as people and machines, and use analytics to help automate and cut down on manual processes.

Access Management and Authentication: Verify that humans and machines are who or what they claim, and ensure that they are entitled to securely access web resources in line with zero-trust principles (via authorization and adaptive access)

Customer IAM: Provide a user-friendly, secure and scalable foundation to enable external users to interact with applications and services.

Privileged Access Management.

Delivering IAM: Establish and run an effective long-term program for implementing IAM practices, processes and technologies that are aligned with business objectives.
