Streamline operations: UKM will include a User Portal that enables organizations to further streamline their operations by enabling users to manage their own keys while implementing defined policies and standards compliance.
Boost efficiency and ensure compliance: This helps organizations lower their costs and makes users more productive, while fulfilling the requirements set forth in standards such as PCI-DSS, NIST and HIPAA.
Get started quick: The appliance is available for trials today, and an updated release with User Portal functionality will be rolled out during Q42015.
