Overview
As you know, Rulerr provides your organization the ability to view people risk in real time. Rulerr constantly monitors who has access to what and who is doing what to create a real time view of risk within your organization. To provide you with this risk overview and flag events of interest, Rulerr utilizes learning algorithms and statistical analysis to process the huge amounts of information provided by the external software integrated with Rulerr and turn it into useful insights.
To provide this real time overview Rulerr needs to be integrated with external products. External products can be integrated with:
People
This allows Rulerr People and external people management software to stay in sync
Access Privileges
This allows Rulerr Access to report access privileges as well use access privilege information to analyze the risk profile of each person in your organization
Analytics
This allows Rulerr to analyze the behaviors and actions of everyone in your organization and flag people with the highest risk profile so you can target your security training and close security holes as quickly as possible.
Integration Types
Rulerr can be integrated with external products in 3 ways:
Manual
Products that cannot or have yet to be integrated with Rulerr automatically.
This type of integration requires that you manually import information into Rulerr.
On-Premise
Products that you operate on your premise or in a closed environment. This integration type allows you to run the integration software locally.
This type of integration allows Rulerr to analyze and report information from the external software in real time.
Cloud
Rulerr offers a number of cloud integrations that either we have written, external developers have written or your organization have written. These cloud integrations run on infrastructure that Rulerr controls to maximize security, up-time and speed.
This type of integration allows Rulerr to analyze and report information from the external software in real time.
