Gemalto cloud security platform now integrates with Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, October 30, 2014 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), world leader
in digital security, announces its cloud authentication server is compliant with
Microsoft's single-sign on access feature. Gemalto's Protiva IDConfirm platform
integrates with Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS), enabling
strong authentication to web-based enterprise applications with a unique user
digital identity.
"With an immediate need to migrate to cloud applications, organizations and
their employees are looking for authentication services that are frictionless
and easy to manage," said François Lasnier, senior vice president of Identity
and Access at Gemalto. "As an early adopter of the latest release of Microsoft
Active Directory Federation Services(1), Gemalto's integration expands the
benefits of cutting edge authentication to our current and broadening customer
base."
Employees can save time by securely logging-on to multiple cloud applications in
office or on the go via their mobile device. In addition, enterprises can reduce
IT costs and simplify implementation with their legacy infrastructure. IT
professionals can control and federate authentication to all business
applications through a single identity provider for more efficient cloud
security. Gemalto's mobile security expertise with an additional one-time
password solution provides an extra layer of authentication to the typical
username and password logon credentials.
"At Microsoft our strategy for growth is aligned to a mobile-first, cloud first
vision," said Garth Fort, General Manager of Enterprise Partners, Microsoft.
"Security is a big factor in how comfortable customers are in moving and
building their business in the cloud. Gemalto is as focused on security as we
are and offers their customers longstanding proficiency in multi-factor
authentication and mobile technology."
