Introduction to Extic's Major Update

Exgen Networks, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has officially launched a significant update of its cloud-based integrated ID management service, Extic. This version includes new security features and operational management tools designed to reinforce ID management in the zero-trust era across enterprises, educational institutions, and public organizations. The company has also initiated the sale of the Extic Staging Option to support stable ID management operations utilizing these new capabilities.

In recent years, with the rise of cloud services and diverse working styles, ID management has become a critical area of security operations. Given the increasing adoption of zero-trust architecture, there is a pressing demand for robust authorization management that accurately tracks and controls 'who accesses what and how.' Extic aims to address these market needs by continuously enhancing its ID management infrastructure for improved safety and usability.

New ID Management Features Released

The update introduces several refined ID management features:

Enhanced Mapping Functionality

• - Users can now utilize mapping functions during CSV imports, expanding the range of cases where data can be imported without prior processing.
• - Automation of CSV formatting operations is significantly improved, making the overall process more efficient.
• - Automated generation of authorization information based on organizational data is now possible.
• - The system can now automatically set specific attribute information unique to Extic.
• - Authorization information can now be set on an account basis.

Schedule Function for Account Reflections

• - Users can now pre-schedule updates for authorization information and the activation of application accounts. This flexibility allows actions to be triggered in alignment with personnel changes, such as on the day new staff are appointed.
• - CSV imports, attribute updates, and application linkages can be executed automatically at specified times.
• - Expansion of controllable cycles is now available (daily/weekly/monthly).
• - The system offers detailed filter conditions, such as by role, account status, and last login date.

Extic Staging Option

• - Aimed at facilitating bulk registration for account maintenance and pre-verifying results of configuration changes, Exgen Networks is now providing a staging option that mimics a production environment, ensuring thorough testing before live deployment.
