GSA Exceeds FISMA security requirements for Google Apps with SecureAuth IEP, a rival of RSA SecurID

Officials at Unisys said the Google deployment (GSA moves 17,000 employee email accounts to the cloud) exceeds data protection requirements instituted by the 2002 Federal Information Security Management Act by providing two-factor authentication, a sign-on process that typically requires a password and a second piece of identifying information. The verification technology is from SecureAuth, a rival of the widely-used RSA SecurID system that suffered brand damage when hackers earlier this year stole sensitive information related to the product.

SecureAuth integrates strong authentication, SSO, access and user management services in a single solution for cloud and web applications, VPN resources, and mobile devices that access the network.

Unlike 1st generation products that were designed to secure remote access to enterprise portals only, SecureAuth IEP was designed to manage and enforce enterprise and portable identities. As more applications move to the cloud and mobile devices access the network, identities have to become portable to support both the type of user and type of application, whether it’s on-premise or in the cloud.

Call us. SecureAuth is the answer….

• If you need to generate portable identities from your enterprise identities and need continuity of enforcement for cloud-based applications without becoming a SAML expert!
• If you need a cost effective, more scalable alternative to hardware tokens!
• If you need to extend your Active Directory identities (or other leading directories) out to mobile devices or into the cloud!
