Lighthouse Gateway cloud-based Identity and Access Management solution garners ‘Best of Show’ award at Pulse2011.

LINCOLN, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Lighthouse Security Group announced today that the Lighthouse Gateway cloud-based Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution has been awarded Best of Show in the fourth annual IBM Tivoli awards presented at the Pulse2011 conference this week in Las Vegas. The IBM Tivoli Awards recognize IBM Tivoli Business Partners that have demonstrated excellence in delivering impressive business value to IBM clients based upon their solutions with Tivoli software.

The Best of Show Award recognizes a visionary IBM Tivoli Business Partner who is leading the charge to manage the world’s infrastructure with IBM Tivoli capabilities and solutions in innovative, leading-edge, exciting ways. Lighthouse Gateway is a groundbreaking solution that builds upon IBM Tivoli technology to solve one of the key problems of today's IT market — the cost and complexity of traditional IAM solutions.

IAM has become increasingly critical due to heightened security risks, regulatory compliance requirements and corporate responsibility mandates. However, traditional IAM solutions require significant capital investments, substantial technical expertise, and ongoing operational and staff commitments.

Lighthouse Gateway leverages the power of cloud computing to eliminate the cost and burden of purchasing, deploying and maintaining an in-house IAM infrastructure. With Lighthouse Gateway, customers gain access to mature IBM Tivoli technology in a cost-effective IAM-as-a-Service (IAMaaS) platform. On average, Lighthouse Gateway will cost organizations 30 percent to 60 percent less over the first three years of operation compared to traditional solutions.

“We are extremely honored that Lighthouse Gateway was chosen for this award,” said Eric Z. Maass, Enterprise Security Solutions director at Lighthouse. “Lighthouse Gateway has previously received awards from IBM and Gartner recognizing the benefits this industry-leading solution brings to customers. Lighthouse Gateway affords companies the benefits of a compliant, open standard-based IAM solution at a fraction of the cost of deploying a conventional in-house infrastructure. It leverages the power and performance of IBM Tivoli IAM and the benefits of the cloud to resolve one of the key IT challenges organizations face today.”
