New security solution protects Office 365 customers
More and more companies are moving their office applications to the cloud and Microsoft Office 365 is one of the most popular options with around 85 million subscribers.
One of the major concerns with this trend is keeping information secure, to address this IT management solutions provider Kaseya is launching its latest AuthAnvil. An identity and access management solution, this provides single sign on (SSO), multifactor authentication (MFA) and automated user provisioning for Office 365.
AuthAnvil gives end users the simplicity and time saving of securely signing in once to access all applications without having to remember multiple sets of login details. With its MFA capabilities, AuthAnvil provides an added, easy to use layer of security to protect businesses from password breaches at third-party services and sites. Kaseya's MFA supports common end-user devices, including Apple iOS, Android phones and tablets, and Windows 10, as well as meeting industry standards such as HIPAA.
"The growth of the cloud is in a historic phase right now, and Microsoft Office 365 is one of the leading drivers of this advancement. That said, security remains a leading concern for all organizations as corporate data increasingly resides outside IT firewalls. The latest release of Kaseya AuthAnvil locks down two key threat vectors to hybrid cloud environments: endpoint security and network access", says Mike Puglia, chief product officer for Kaseya. "With Kaseya AuthAnvil, our multiple layers of security checks and balances ensure that access is limited to authorized users only, giving IT leaders peace of mind in the security of their corporate information".
Among other features are the ability to tie into a company's existing Active Directory or other user directory, so AuthAnvil can automate both Office 365 user provisioning and privileges assignment. As a result, IT administrators no longer have the burden of having to create user accounts and assign common services and privileges.
More information about AuthAnvil can be found on the Kaseya website.
