SecureAuth IEP Delivers Strong Authentication and SSO for Retail

Every encounter between a retailer and a customer offers an opportunity to strengthen brand and boost loyalty. To provide this level of service, retailers must know their customer in-depth. However, the storage, processing and transmission of cardholder information present a growing potential exposure for the retailer. The Payment Card Industry (PCI) has worked to develop and implement a variety of security standards to protect consumer and cardholder data, such as credit card numbers. PCI DSS was created to prevent credit card fraud, identify theft, hacking and other security threats. Any organization that stores, processes or transmits cardholder data must include strong end-user access controls to be PCI DSS compliant or risk audits, fines or the loss of the right to process payments via credit or debit card.

In addition, the retail industry is under extreme pressure to reduce costs and is embracing cloud computing to lower their capital expenditures, reduce support costs, and provide faster application delivery. Even though cloud-computing is more cost effective, many retailers are concerned about storing their user credentials off-premise. Providing secure online access isn’t an option for the retail industry, but implementing the right authentication to ensure easier, more secure access to online systems while keeping credentials stored on-premise is an option.

Secure, Simple Access to All Retail Applications and Resources

SecureAuth is an Identity Enforcement Platform (IEP) that secures and simplifies access to every cloud, VPN, and web resource from the office, stores, warehouses, or remotely from mobile devices with integrated Authentication, SSO, and IdM Services. Architected as a hybrid solution, SecureAuth makes cloud applications an extremely secure extension of your IT infrastructure without compromising the security of your user identities and access controls! Simply install SecureAuth and you can be integrated into your existing directory to validate user credentials. All user identities and access controls remain securely stored within your on-premise protected enterprise directory such as Active Directory. Once authenticated, based on their role and the type of application being accessed, your end users can securely access on-premise and cloud applications.
