What is Symantec VIP Access Manager?

Symantec VIP Access Manager is the next generation control platform that integrates Single Sign-On (SSO) with strong authentication, access control, and user management. It offers users and administrators control, convenience, and compliance for public and private cloud- based applications. Symantec VIP Access Manager solves cloud security problems using identity and/or context-based access control across multiple cloud applications. In the cloud, where a traditional enterprise perimeter doesn't exist, this solution fills the gap. Through Symantec VIP Access Manager, administrators can define policies that utilize the built-in user directory or existing identity management infrastructure to enforce security and compliance for applications without getting in the way of productivity. Symantec VIP Access Manager can also protect and consolidate access management for on-premise web applications. It also simplifies compliance auditing for cloud applications by consolidating logs across all applications it protects.

The tool's setup part could be difficult, especially if the environment only meets some of the necessary requirements. Implementing reduced servers and all applications with Symantec VIP Access Manager will require time. Actually, you do not have to stop anything and allow for continuity in your business. At the same time, the services can remain online, and second-factor authentication via Symantec VIP Access Manager needs to be implemented quickly. Overall, it can be a difficult process. The deployment process for Symantec VIP Access Manager typically takes around three to four hours per server, depending on the number of integrated servers. However, it can vary depending on all the integrated servers, and I think it takes three hours.
