security.manager NEXT is the newest product of the security.manager family and combines the advantages of its two predecessor editions. It integrates perfectly into ArcGIS infrastructures, but in the future will also be usable for alternative GIS systems based on OGC standards.

Based on many years of experience in the context of geo-security and as a result of a consistent user-centered design, security.manager NEXT is optimally tailored to the needs of GIS administrators:

Effectiveness:

security.manager NEXT allows access to GIS services to be authorized directly in the service itself. It thus acts completely transparently for applications accessing the GIS server, regardless of whether this access is made via an app, a desktop GIS or directly on the service interface.

Efficiency:

To relieve GIS administrators of tedious routine work, security.manager NEXT is highly automatable. For this purpose, it has an interface that controls the management of permissions for all services and the activation or deactivation of access protection, regardless of the current environment (production, stage, dev, UAT, ...). This significantly simplifies operations in more complex infrastructures. In addition, the rights model is designed to avoid redundancy, so that restrictions can be defined centrally and referenced conveniently for individual services.

Clarity:

It is particularly important for GIS administrators to be able to quickly and effortlessly record the current status of their GIS system. For this purpose, security.manager NEXT provides an easy-to-use user interface to analyze both the permissions of individual user groups and the permissions for specific resources at a glance. This ensures that the administrator can react quickly.
