IRVINE, Calif.--BUSINESS WIRE--McAfee, the leading provider of secure enterprise solutions has certified the SecureAuth SSO solution for its Security Innovation Alliance™ partner program. The SecureAuth Identity Enforcement Platform IEP, with its combined Single Sign-on SSO and authentication functionality, complements McAfee® Endpoint Encryption with a comprehensive identity enforcement platform. The integration enables customers to combine two-factor SSO application access with data encryption and centralized data protection.

“Enterprises struggle with creating a common authentication experience across their disparate SaaS, Web, cloud, and VPN resources. This is mainly the result of prior-generation authentication solutions that, until now, were unable to abstract themselves from the underlying application”

McAfee Endpoint Encryption offers powerful encryption and strong access control features that help users prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data, data loss and data exposure. The combination of SecureAuth SSO and McAfee Endpoint Encryption keeps authentication credentials secure, while also freeing users of the need to maintain separate application passwords. The joint integration provides a unified security chain, from boot-level log-on through to application access.

Designed to install into an enterprise’s existing infrastructure, SecureAuth IEP provides users with transparent access to all of their local, cloud-based, and SaaS applications – all from their current desktop log-ons. Using SecureAuth IEP the enterprise can instantly leverage SAML and/or other security protocols for secure cloud deployments. The solution streamlines workflows for both end users – who have simplified log-on procedures – and the enterprise, which is able to simplify the management and administration of end-user credentials.

“Enterprises struggle with creating a common authentication experience across their disparate SaaS, Web, cloud, and VPN resources. This is mainly the result of prior-generation authentication solutions that, until now, were unable to abstract themselves from the underlying application,” said Garret Grajek, CTO of SecureAuth. “In contrast, SecureAuth serves as a stand-alone authentication solution that integrates with existing directory services to deliver end-to-end SSO for on-premise, SaaS, and web applications without APIs or extensive coding. Combined with McAfee Endpoint Encryption, enterprises are able to protect identities as stringently as they protect sensitive data.”

McAfee Endpoint Encryption leverages the McAfee® ePolicy Orchestrator® platform infrastructure for automated security reporting, monitoring, deployment, and policy Administration. With more than 35,000 customers and managing more than 60 million PCs and servers, this unique platform is helping McAfee SIA partners to extend their reach and create complementary functionality.

“We are delighted to have tested this joint solution with SecureAuth,” said Ed Barry, senior director of the Security Innovation Alliance, McAfee. “Multiple logins increase security risk and reduce end-user productivity. Through this integration, the problems of multiple passwords, user IDs, password modifications, and expired log-on accounts are significantly mitigated.”
