Atos secures Cloud application including Microsoft Office 365 with Evidian Web Access Manager
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Paris, 23 January 2017 - Atos, leader in digital transformation, announces
support - through its technological brand Bull - for the Microsoft Office 365
suite on any device with Evidian Web Access Manager (WAM), its Web Single Sign-
On & Identity Federation solution. Evidian WAM helps organizations move
seamlessly to the Cloud and increases the security of access to internal company
messages and applications over the internet as well as to external web
applications outside the company's premises. This performance is achieved
without impacting users.
Deploying Office 365 with Evidian WAM is simple and cost-efficient by optimizing
provisioning cost and access management. With Evidian Identity Governance and
Administration, businesses can manage and keep control of federation mechanisms:
Office 365 licenses are provided when users are granted access, and then
decommissioned when they lose their rights, thus not only limiting the risk of
dormant accounts but also optimizing costs. Combined with Evidian Web Access
Manager, users have instant access to their Microsoft Office 365 account using
Self-service to request the right to use applications while being offered
increased security through adaptive authentication which determines the required
strength of the authentication mechanism.
Businesses of all sizes are currently adopting Cloud services as they become
critical for long-term success. More and more Software as a Service (SaaS)
applications such as Microsoft's Office 365 and Google Apps are hosted outside
of the company's walls requiring a secure access. Companies also face the
challenge of integrating existing identities into the authentication process of
the Cloud platform.
Louis-Marie Fouchard, Business unit Manager Identity & Access Management (IAM)
at Atos, explains: "When clients move to Office 365, identity integration can be
difficult to manage. With Evidian Web Access Manager, all Cloud application
accesses are managed by the company's identity provider applying its own policy
rules with optimized costs. This means clients have full control of Cloud
accesses and can monitor all activity through security reporting and auditing.
We offer customers a secure and seamless transition to Cloud, while enabling
them to be compliant with the regulations. "

Atos will be attending the International Cybersecurity Forum (FIC) 2017, January
24th and 25th in Lille, at stand A22. Experts will be available to discuss
issues related to cybersecurity.
