SecureAuth IEP
Solutions for Google Apps

SecureAuth IEP Extends 2-Factor, SAML SSO and IdM Services to Google Apps From Your Directory

Google Apps, a suite of Web-based collaboration applications including Gmail, Google Docs, Google Sites and other apps has more than 2 million business customers ranging from one-man shops to large companies. Designed to appeal to small companies that need low-cost collaboration software but don’t have the resources to manage it, as well as to larger enterprises that want to eliminate the expense of managing collaboration applications themselves, Google Apps have been the catalyst to drive Cloud adoption to where it is today. 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.
