Authentication as a Service: Hosted and Managed Authentication Services
Many businesses are required to employ authentication solutions, as mandated by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), FFIEC Authentication Guidance and other regulations. Yet many organisations remain dissatisfied with traditional hardware-based authentication, which can be costly and cumbersome for administrators and users alike.
Offers organisations a single integrated platform to extend their users’ on-premise identities to cloud applications (private or hosted platforms like SaaS-based cloud applications such as Google Apps and Salesforce.com).
By so doing, organisations are able to centrally manage and control their strong authentication and security needs, as well as provide a complete single sign-on experience to applications residing in the corporate data centre and the cloud.
