Identity & Access Management – Leader

Herjavec Group’s winning Identity & Access Management Service offering is focused on transforming an organization’s access requirements into an information advantage. Our identity services include (1) Assessment, (2) Design, (3) Deployment and (4) Managed Services for Identity and Access Management, proxy access management, and privileged access management.

Herjavec Group was recognized as a Leader in this category for continuing to advance its IAM practice with the introduction of an Identity Managed Service. HG’s Identity Managed Service offers 3 tiers of support:

1. Health Monitoring - 24x7 IAM platform monitoring and escalation
2. Basic Services – troubleshooting level 1 issues including log-ons and software updates
3. Enhanced Configuration Services – advanced support including application/data source onboarding, user access reviews, provisioning configuration, and more

With Identity Managed Services, your organization can:

1. Gain 24x7 visibility into the health of your IAM platform without increasing security staff
2. Improve control over user data and access permissions
3. Quickly detect risks and amend access entitlement issues associated with privileged users

Managed Security Services Providers – Leader 

As the Leader across Managed Security Services Providers, Herjavec Group has demonstrated the innate ability to combine technical, human and threat intelligence to enrich the information and alerts shared with our customers. Our Managed Security Services Practice is SOC 2 Type 2 certified, supported by four PCI compliant and federally cleared Security Operations Centers  (Toronto & Ottawa (CAN), Los Angeles (US) and Reading (UK)) and built to defend enterprise organizations from increasingly sophisticated, targeted, cybercrime threats through two streams of service:

• Proactive Threat Detection which includes logging, correlation, & threat hunting
• Security Technology Management which includes certified optimization, administration, best practices & health checks

Herjavec Group focuses on solving the industry’s greatest challenge – a severe cybersecurity labor shortage – by leveraging custom-built solutions, including our Herjavec Group Threat Framework and Analytics Platform, to apply threat modelling and use cases at the SIEM level in order to minimize the time and resources required to detect, escalate, analyze, and investigate threats in your environment. 

Over the last year, Herjavec Group has taken a leadership position in its development work with Splunk. We have developed our own Splunk App to package its Threat Framework, dashboards, reports, and alerts into a single application powered by Splunk's GUI. This new application saves time onboarding new customers, enhances HG’s ability to audit the quality of data logs seamlessly, and enables customers to leverage the power of HG’s SOC in a single pane of glass.

By using the app in a Splunk environment, HG’s SOC analysts and customers both benefit from improved visualizations and the ability to search dynamically using the Host & User Investigator tool to quickly correlate activities around specific hosts or users, over a particular time period.
