effective with product enhancements and new implementation offerings that
reduce the time to value and simplify day-to-day governance while reducing
overall identity risks.
PRODUCT INNOVATIONS RSA® IDENTITY GOVERNANCE AND LIFECYCLE 7.1 RELEASE FEATURES & ENHANCEMENTS
FEATURES ENHANCEMENTS
New Access
Reviewer
Experience
New guided reviewer experience makes it easier for the
business user to complete access reviews, reducing overall
certification fatigue. This is accomplished through a new
user experience that guides the business user through easy-
to-understand reviews that help prioritize actions so the
business users can focus on high-priority items.
Password
Credentials
Vault
Integration
(Collectors)
Improve your overall security posture with centralized
password and rotation policy management for end-point
systems for RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle
managed applications. RSA Identity Governance and
Lifecycle collector (such as AD, LDAP, database) credentials
are centrally managed within their corporate credential
vault (i.e., CyberArk Application Identity Manager [AIM])—
no longer having to manage them separately within RSA
Identity Governance and Lifecycle.
Data
Archiving
Improved system efficiency by archiving unneeded data.
Customers can archive data that is no longer necessary in
the production system. Once archived, this data can be used
for audit and reporting purposes only.
Workflow
Priority
Queues &
Enhanced
Dashboard
Improved workflow priority visibility lets users proactively
understand factors that may be blocking higher-priority
requests and be able to remediate.
Multiple workflow queues have been added to manage
various types of requests to process the most important
items first, such as termination/password reset requests,
which are placed in a high-priority queue. New dashboard
surfaces details on workflow performance and alerts
administrators with issues that may be blocking higher-
priority requests from being addressed.

DATA SHEET
Virtual
Application
for VMware
RSA has made it easier for customers to deploy a virtual
image of the RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle
application in their virtual environment for VMware. This
reduces the time and effort required to get RSA Identity
Governance and Lifecycle up and running in a virtual
environment through traditional installation processes.
Platform
Updates
Customers can now ensure that their RSA Identity
Governance and Lifecycle implementation is aligned
with the latest corporate standards and policy. RSA has
updated versions of the supported operating systems
(SUSE 12), application services (WildFly 10, WebLogic 12.2,
WebSphere 9) and Java 8.
PACKAGED IMPLEMENTATION OFFERINGSQuick Start and Implementation Blueprint packaged offerings provide
standardized implementations for core governance and lifecycle management
as well as key use cases and integrations that align to recommended practices.
These fixed-price offerings allow organizations clarity and certainty to take on
a project with clear timelines and defined costs—two major pain points when
undertaking a governance project. This allows for quicker time to value and
demonstrated ROI on the investment.
Packages Available:
• Quick Start for Identity Governance
• Quick Start for Identity Lifecycle
• Bulk Attribute Update Implementation Blueprint
• Bulk Lock/Disable Inactive Accounts Implementation Blueprint
• Finacle Implementation Blueprint
• Epic® Implementation Blueprint
• RSA Authentication Manager Prime Implementation Blueprint
• RSA Archer® Implementation Blueprint for Identity Management
RECOMMENDED PRACTICES:
Identity governance and user administration is highly complex and not solvable
with technology alone. RSA Recommended Practices take a holistic approach
to show customers the people, process and technology solutions that are most
effective. Initial Recommended Practices include:
• Access certifications
• Access requests
• High availability and business continuity
• Joiner, mover, leaver processes

DATA SHEET
TOP REASONS TO UPGRADE TO VERSION 7.1Whether you are on an older version of RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle
or just recently updated to version 7.0.x, upgrading to version 7.1 provides
many benefits.
BETTER USER EXPERIENCE AND MORE EFFECTIVE ACCESS REVIEWS
The new user experience for reviews provides a much simpler experience for
your end users, a great advantage, but it’s more than that. The newly enhanced
experience leverages underlying risk analytics to determine risky access and/
or violations and prioritizes that access for the end users. By taking a risk-based
approach, reviews are more effective, as the highest priority (riskiest access) is
addressed first by the end users. This ultimately helps reduce rubber stamping
by business users and improves your overall security posture.
MORE SECURE PASSWORD MANAGEMENT FOR PRIVILEGED USERS
Organizations that are using the current integration with CyberArk in the 7.0
platform can enable the collectors with version 7.1 for CyberArk in addition to the
existing connectors. This enables passwords to be managed and rotated through
CyberArk instead of being stored inside RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle.
IMPROVED PRODUCT PERFORMANCE AND SCALABILITY
We continue to focus on advancing overall performance and scalability of the
platform to ensure it meets the growing needs of our customers. Additional
enhancements, including data archiving and workflow priority queuing and
dashboards, help to streamline and make day-to-day administration easier and
faster within the platform. The archiving feature helps organizations that have
lengthy retention policies and/or compliance requirements. By archiving, you
are able to meet the requirement, but move data off of production in order to
improve overall performance and not bog down the system.
BROADER SYSTEM SUPPORT
The newly released platform supports updated versions of the operating
system (SUSE 12), application services (WildFly 10, WebLogic 12.2, WebSphere
9) and Java 8. These updated version supports may be required by some
environments and are available now with version 7.1.
