Visual Guard is a robust Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution that provides comprehensive security for business applications.

It offers a unified approach to application security, integrating several major access control features:

1. Authentication
   Visual Guard verifies the identity of end users of an application. It supports username/password authentication and can reuse Windows accounts stored in Active Directory. It can also integrate with existing authentication systems under certain conditions.
   
2. Identity Management
   Visual Guard manages user accounts and groups, providing full-featured administration consoles for developers, non-technical administrators, and auditors. This feature simplifies the process of creating, modifying, and deleting users.
   
3. Authorization
   Visual Guard defines what end users are allowed to do in an application. It allows you to centralize the permissions for all your applications in one repository, providing a flexible way to manage security at the application, role, or user level.
   
4. Audit & Reporting
   Visual Guard provides features to track and report all security-related activities. It allows you to customize the log of the secured applications and generate PDF reports for auditing purposes.
   
5. Supervision
   Visual Guard offers supervision capabilities that allow administrators to monitor the system in real-time, ensuring that all activities are running smoothly and securely.
   
6. Permission Matrix
   Visual Guard includes a Permission Matrix feature that provides a clear, grid-like view of the permissions assigned to each role and user, making it easier to manage and understand access rights.
   
7. Workflow System
   Visual Guard incorporates a workflow system that allows for the automation of processes related to identity management and access control. This includes processes like user registration, role assignment, and access requests, which can be automated based on predefined rules and conditions.

Visual Guard supports a wide range of technologies, including .NET, Java, C++, PowerBuilder, and any technology capable of HTTP Request.
It can be integrated into any new or existing applications, making it a versatile solution for businesses of all sizes and industries.

Visual Guard also offers several components, including:

• WinConsole: A Windows-based console that provides a user-friendly interface for managing security settings, user accounts, roles, and permissions.
• WebConsole: A web-based interface for managing security settings.
• Identity Server: A component that handles authentication and authorization requests from applications.
