Google understands that many enterprise customers want to enable single sign-on (SSO) to Google Apps while maintaining control of their own user identities and method of authentication. To support this functionality, Google enables enterprises to control authentication using the Security Access Markup Language (SAML) protocol. However, becoming an identity provider (IdP) and integrating your environment using SAML can be expensive and requires changes to your environment that leave you with a proprietary solution to maintain.
Secure, Simple Access to Every Google App in the Cloud
SecureAuth is an Identity Enforcement Platform (IEP) that secures and simplifies access to every cloud, VPN and web resource from the office or remotely from mobile devices with integrated Authentication, SSO and IdM Services.
SecureAuth’s hybrid architecture makes Google Apps an extremely secure extension of your enterprise without compromising the security of your user identities and access controls! Simply install SecureAuth IEP, and you will be integrated into your existing directory to validate user credentials and become “Google Enabled.” All user identities and access controls remain securely stored within your on-premise enterprise directory such as Active Directory. Once “Google Enabled,” your end users can securely access Google’s vast array of applications.
SecureAuth IEP Highlights for Google Apps
- Integrated strong authentication and SAML SSO deliver secure, simple user access to all of your Google Apps without additional logins or tokens for authentication.
- Protects Google Apps from phishing and password attacks with mutual authentication.
- Internal user experience: “Transparent Desktop SSO.”
- External user Experience: “SecureAuth 2-Factor SSO Authentication.”
- Built-in SAML functionality that has been optimized for Google Apps removes the complexity and expense to integrate a SAML SSO solution into your directory.
