| Software as a Service (SaaS) has become mainstream IT. Applications like Salesforce.com, ADP, Concur, Google Apps, Success Factors, Rearden Commerce and others are slashing the cost and complexity of IT and proving to be mission critical systems. According to Forrester, Think Strategies, Gartner and others, enterprise-wide adoption of SaaS is widespread and has reached a tipping point, recently accelerated by the current economic downturn. 62% of enterprises have multiple SaaS apps today, and that number is growing quickly. As enterprises turn to SaaS as a way to reduce IT costs, new security and compliance challenges are created as confidential data moves across the firewall onto 3rd party systems. This is driving the need for a new model of securing SaaS apps to give enterprises the ability to: |
- Manage user access to hosted apps and data
- Prevent ‘side-door’ access to apps
- Centrally authenticate users.
| - Simplify single-sign on (SSO).
- Monitor and report on user activity for compliance.
- Extend on-premise infrastructure like Active Directory to the cloud.
