Manage access for people and machines, enabling anyone or anything to operate from anywhere, on any device and across any channel — without compromising your company’s security or adherence to regulatory requirements

DXC Access Management lets security teams oversee user and device identities in dynamic environments, where secure access control is required to remain compliant with data and privacy regulations. Our access management services protect data and business operations, demonstrate regulatory compliance, reduce costs, fill skills gaps and enable the implementation of new business models. DXC manages identities and secure access for employees, partners, customers, citizens, software bots, smart agents, automated scripts, IoT devices and APIs.

What's included

Access Management Services: Accelerated zero trust adoption, Cybersecurity | DXC Technology

Accelerated zero trust adoption

Rely on a modern identity management fabric for increasingly expanding perimeters that are defined by identity.
Access Management Services: Seamless collaboration with partners, Cybersecurity | DXC Technology

Seamless collaboration with partners

Federated identities ensure security and accountability for contributions from employees, partners and even customers.
Access Management Services: Reliable identity scaling, Cybersecurity | DXC Technology

Reliable identity scaling

Choose on-premises or SaaS options for sovereignty and resilient access control for millions of identities.

Features

Modern identity platforms centralize management of access policies while Policy Enforcement Points (PEPs) are distributed across the protected systems, mobile applications, service APIs, data centers and SaaS applications. Wherever your sensitive data may reside, the same consistent policy needs to be applied to determine who is authorized to access the data and the level of authentication required for them to do so. So, when regulations change, DXC Access Management can change policies centrally and apply them automatically across your applications, databases, APIs and SaaS providers. The changes will then be propagated automatically across all the protected systems, on premises and in the cloud.

It’s not unusual for one person to have dozens of passwords for home and work applications. Many of these passwords are weak, which makes single sign-on a core requirement of any access control portal. DXC Access Management helps reduce security risks resulting from poor password practices, while also improving the user experience with frictionless authentication journeys.

Passwords are all too easy to steal or guess, and forgotten passwords are expensive to reset. It's good practice to stop using passwords and instead move to biometrics and the Fast Identity Online (FIDO2) open standard for user authentication to enhance security, assure identities and make life easier for end users without compromising privacy, security or accountability. DXC relies on this standard to enable secure and convenient logins across websites and apps using unique cryptographic keys stored in a piece of secure hardware, such as a smart card or a USB/NFC hardware token; the Personal Identification Number (PIN) can be unlocked with a human-friendly gesture or biometric.

DXC has created an Identity and Access Management (IAM) Capability Model that provides a framework to define strategies, plan roadmaps, propose architectures and assess maturity against industry benchmarks. The model is populated with best practice guides, templates and blueprints that draw on decades of industry experience, technical know-how and our work with industry-leading technology partnerships. The IAM Capability Model accelerates our service delivery with consistent and high-quality outcomes.

5.5 million users
at a U.S. health insurer have seamless single sign-on to third-party websites using technology and services from DXC
11 million customers
at a U.S. financial services company use biometric authentication and FIDO2 services from DXC on mobile devices to enhance identity assurance

  • You want to improve the user sign-on experience while also improving security using stronger authentication methods than passwords.
  • You want to reach new customers in new markets by allowing them to federate their identities of their local preferred social media account with your services.
  • You want to step up authentication for high-value transactions with seamless integration of a choice of multi-factor authentication options that raise identity assurance while providing user choice.
  • You need to defend your organization from the countless number of sophisticated threat actors increasingly exploiting new technology, such as 5G interconnections, and new uses for existing technology, such as devices that enable collaboration among remote employees.
