Empowering Robust Identity Governance
Todd Hershman, Co-Founder & PresidentWith over two decades of experience in the IAM sector, CIS has witnessed the evolution of the industry, from its origins where organizations were trying to relieve their workforce of time-consuming, redundant and error-prone manual tasks, to today’s growing need for regulatory compliance. Due to the lack of internal expertise in IAM, business decision makers are keen on outsourcing IAM. In the present circumstance, CIS saves the day by providing a Managed IAM Infrastructure service offering under the brand, “CIS-MIAMI™,” coupled with extensive expertise in the field and prowess revolving around identity solution architecture, engineering and deployment. In addition to identity management, CIS’ offering specializes in monitoring not only the IAM servers but also the systems connected to those servers. Being a platinum partner for Micro Focus, CIS has high-level access to Micro Focus’ engineering group, giving them a significant advantage over peers in the market.
Hershman states that three aspects support CIS’ value proposition. First is its demonstrated experience and expertise, which gives team CIS a view of the prevalent challenges and competitors. Additionally, with a proven methodology of implementing, deploying, and supporting solutions for customers, CIS has set itself apart in the market. Another key aspect of CIS is its understanding of Micro Focus’ NetIQ IAM solution, choosing it strategically over other available vendors. Using NetIQ provides its own unique advantages to the customer through its flexibility and compatibility. Harnessing the flexibility, CIS provides solutions to customers, customized to their requirements and individual business structure. “One does not change the business to fit a technology, rather the technology complements the business,” adds Rob Rawson, chief identity access officer at CIS.
In a global market where identity and access management based risks are on the rise, CIS helps organizations streamline their security stature and maintain regulatory compliance
Furthermore, CIS offers administrative services, escalation support, and high-level strategic consulting. Apart from providing technologies built by different vendors, CIS also develops its own solutions, such as drivers to help integrate Workday, Cisco Unified Call Manager and AWS. Among those drivers, the underlying LiQuiDSOAP™ foundation is a noteworthy innovation by CIS, owing to its ability to provide faster web services integration for any business software in the market.
With rapid growth over the years and spreading its wings in the U.S. and Canada, CIS aspires for a complete reach across the 50 states. In the coming months, CIS aims to increase customer traction by capitalizing on the increased migration to the cloud. Complementing each other, identity management and cloud applications can form the base for a robust infrastructure. Also, team CIS envisions helping organizations to move to the cloud and leverage cloud-based capabilities to provide identity provisioning, authentication services and orchestrated compliance management.

CIS Announces Partnership Agreement with Island, Pioneer and Leader in the Enterprise Browser Market
“The pace of market adoption by some of the world’s leading companies has been nothing less than remarkable, and we look forward to uniting the power and expertise CIS brings to customers with Island’s innovative, paradigm-shifting Enterprise Browser to their customers.”
As organizations turn towards SaaS cloud-based applications to help them reduce costs and streamline their operations, there is an increasing need for access and sensitive data controls. While SaaS applications provide many benefits to organizations, they can introduce risk and require significant investments to maintain compliance and data protection across enterprises in every industry. The Island Enterprise Browser is the ideal enterprise workspace where work flows freely while remaining fundamentally secure. With the core needs of the enterprise naturally embedded in the browser itself, Island gives organizations complete control, visibility, and governance over the last mile, while delivering the same smooth Chromium-based browser experience users expect.
“With its Enterprise Browser, Island is pioneering an entirely new category of enterprise software that affords CISOs and CIOs a simpler and more secure way to protect the enterprise while improving the user experience and reducing costs and complexity in the security stack,” said Keith Weatherford, Island’s VP Worldwide Channel Sales. “The pace of market adoption by some of the world’s leading companies has been nothing less than remarkable, and we look forward to uniting the power and expertise CIS brings to customers with Island’s innovative, paradigm-shifting Enterprise Browser to their customers.”
“In my 28 years here at CIS, we have had the philosophy of partnering with only the best-of-breed solutions that we can stand behind and go to the marketplace with complete confidence that we will be delivering elite solutions to our clients,” said CIS President and Co-founder Todd Hershman. “Island not only fits that criterion, but they take it to a whole new level. Island has developed a solution that is needed by businesses in all verticals. I am confident that the Island Enterprise Browser will be the de facto industry standard within the next five years. I am truly excited to have our organizations working closely together and I am looking forward to what the future has in store for our partnership.”
The Island Enterprise Browser
The Island Enterprise Browser is the desktop of the future, enabling organizations to protect users and data at the very point where they interact with SaaS and internal web applications. Using the Island Enterprise Browser, security teams fully control the last mile, from basic protections such as copy, paste, download, upload, and screenshot capture, to more advanced security demands such as data redaction, watermarking and multi-factor authentication insertion. This opens up unprecedented opportunities across a growing number of enterprise use cases, including securing critical SaaS and internal web applications from data leakage, safe access for contractors and BYOD workers, and full governance over privileged user accounts. It also delivers a native user experience for the hybrid worker in contrast to costly and poor-performing virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), while supporting built-in safe browsing, web filtering, web isolation, exploit prevention, and Zero Trust network access at much lower cost. Automation of repetitive tasks, customized workflows and frictionless adoption also help organizations realize significant increases in productivity and user experience.
