MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Securent, Inc., the award-winning leader in Entitlement Management, today outlined several key milestones that signal both the company's success in the marketplace and the fast-growing importance of Entitlement Management to security- and compliance-conscious businesses around the globe. The Securent Entitlement Management SolutionTM (EMS) enables organizations to meet their application and data security requirements by securing access to sensitive applications and information with unmatched fine-grained, policy-driven controls and visibility.
