Authentication policies in Identity and Access Management (IAM) are the bedrock of modern enterprise security. They control who accesses what, safeguarding your organization's crown jewels — its data and systems. But deploying new (or even tweaking existing) policies can feel like navigating a minefield. One misstep can trigger accidental lockouts, open up security gaps or even bring operations to a screeching halt.
Wouldn't it be great if you could take those policies for a test drive before unleashing them on your users? Now you can. HYPR's Policy Simulation lets you do just that — validate your authentication policies in a safe and controlled environment, so you can be sure they work exactly as intended before they go live.
Run simulations to see precisely how policy changes will impact user access before they're enforced. This proactive approach eliminates the risk of:
HYPR Policy Simulation lets you fine-tune your configurations without impacting real users, ensuring a smooth and secure transition for every policy update.
The HYPR Policy Simulation feature is accessed through the HYPR Adapt policy engine within the HYPR Control Center. From there, you can define a new risk policy, selecting from built-in templates or crafting custom rules tailored to your specific requirements.
Once your policy is defined, you can select a real user account from your system to use in the simulation. This allows you to see how the policy would affect an actual user's access without any real-world impact. You can also specify a timeframe for the simulation, determining the period for which you want to analyze real user events.
With the user and timeframe selected, HYPR Policy Simulation would process the user's events and evaluate how the policy would impact their access. The results are displayed in an easy-to-understand format, showing whether the policy would have blocked or allowed access based on the user's behavior.
This allows you to fine-tune your policies before deployment, ensuring they work exactly as intended. By testing in a simulated environment, you can identify and address any potential issues before they impact real users.
HYPR Policy Simulation eliminates the guesswork from authentication policy management. Say goodbye to accidental lockouts, security vulnerabilities and frantic troubleshooting.
