Education

The National Education Technology Plan 2010, calls for educational institutions of all types to, “Revise practices, policies, and regulations to ensure privacy and information protection..." Courion helps educational organizations, whether K-12 or Higher Education, to implement strong and effective identity and access management solutions that protect personal information from unauthorized access and help reduce IT administrative costs.

Energy

The North America Energy Reliability Corporation (NERC) Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) regulations establish standards for defining, controlling and terminating access to critical cyber assets in the energy sector. Courion helps energy organizations meet these stringent security requirements with user account provisioning, password management and access certification solutions.

Finance

Courion helps banks and other financial institutions to protect the security and confidentiality of customers nonpublic personal information, as mandated by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). Customers can define security policies governing who has access to sensitive data and create, manage and verify access rights across a broad range of applications and platforms.

Government

Managing users’ identities and controlling their access to vital or sensitive information assets is a critical priority for government agencies and related non-government organizations, (NGOs) alike.

Healthcare

Healthcare organizations struggling with the shift to electronic records must take steps to secure and protect sensitive patient information as it is captured, stored and transmitted, as required by HIPAA/HITECH, PCI DSS, MA 201 and state other state privacy regulations. High employee turnover and complex relationships with external service providers also challenge healthcare organizations to ensure that only the right people have the right access to the right resources.

Insurance

Like banks, insurance companies are subject to government and industry regulations mandating controls be put in place to control access to customers nonpublic personal information. In the US, insurance companies are also subject to the Model Audit Rule (if they are not publicly held) or Sarbanes-Oxley (publicly-held), which impose a requirement to install controls to protect financial reporting systems from unauthorized access.

Manufacturing

Courion enables manufacturers to effectively automate access to applications and IT assets containing trade secrets or other sensitive information, verify the proper use of that access, demonstrate compliance with industry regulations and protect the organization’s brand and reputation.

Retail

Today's on-line, distributed retail environment requires improved security and control over access to sensitive data, such as customer credit card numbers, financial resources, inventory management systems, or proprietary trade secrets. Courion helps retail organizations meet the requirements of the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS), and other relevant regulations, with solutions focused on controlling access to sensitive data.
