Abstract

Policy-based, delegated limited network access management places day-to-day control of network access in the hands of authorized users, referred to as resource access administrators, selected for their business knowledge and ability to respond quickly to business events. Resource access administrators have the ability to respond, in the form of access decisions proposed by individuals with knowledge or, or responsibility for business processes and business partner relationships and shaped and pre-approved by network security specialists, referred to as network access administrators. This approach, therefore, reduces the cost, complexity, and delay (latency) associated with managing external network access without compromising network security.
