TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the ICT solutions and international communications business within NTT (NYSE:NTT), announced today its immediate launch of identity and access management (IAM), an new function on NTT Com’s API Gateway that enables IT administrators to directly and easily control user access to various NTT Com ICT services. API Gateway, which was launched in December 2014, provides the APIs that enable customers and partner companies to use NTT Com services while viewing and controlling information on their own systems and applications.
The new feature will allow customers to continue to leverage NTT Com's network and cloud services for faster and more efficient payroll, invoicing, troubleshooting and other mission-critical operations while providing the increased security to meet compliance requirements and ensure the right individuals can access the right resources. The flexibility of IAM will also allow them to tailor access to meet their unique business requirements.
• Create and control user groups
The IAM function enables IT
administrators to create and control a user group for each API and can
further limit access to each function related to that API.
• Tailored authorization
Customers can create user groups
using a variety of criteria. APIs, IP addresses or other identifying
information such as Arcstar Universal One or Enterprise One VPNs or
circuit numbers can be used for authorization.
Please see the attachments to learn more about sample cases leveraging
IAM.
