SSO for OSS

The telecommunications infrastructure

The telecommunications infrastructure is at the heart of the business of an operator:

The features of the infrastructure are used to build the services available to consumers (voice, SMS, e-mail, web access, GPRS,...)
The technical quality of the service is the base of the quality of service perceived by the consumers
It generally implements the latest technologies in domains such as optimization algorithms, data transfer protocols and processors
It integrates multiple technical layers from different vendors and different time periods
It has to cover geographically a country in which each and every citizen is an actual or potential customer

OSS systems

The systems and applications managing a telecommunications infrastructure are responsible for maintaining it at its optimum state. They cover the functions of configuration, supervision and provisioning for the equipment, networks and services.

They must face the triple challenge of the QoS, complexity and size of the infrastructure.

Identity and access management for OSS systems

Defining the access to OSS systems and controlling it centrally is key to reducing operational risks related to user accesses to OSS systems. It is generally the role of a central operational security team that has to deal with several organizations and systems to secure access.

Operational departments

Operational departments must give the basic information that makes it possible to build the security policy document. This document defines the user profiles and their associated applications and systems rights.

They must give up-to-date employee status (hiring, changing department, leaving,...) so that application accounts can be kept in tune with reality.

Target systems and applications

The user accounts on target systems and applications must be created and modified according to security policy and users' current status.

Strong authentication

The strong authentication of connecting users is another important system that must be provisioned by the central operational team according to the company security policy:

Evidian IAM Suite supports the central operational security team

It helps them to maintain up-to-date user identity information, provision user accounts on OSS applications and strong authentication system.
