What does Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) mean to you? Well we talked a bit about cloud single sign-on (SSO) in a previous post, given our recent announcement. But, in reality, without governance and provisioning “in-the-cloud” along with SSO, it’s not a true cloud-based IAM solution.
If you were to look at your current on-premise IAM program, could you live without features such as user provisioning, access review, policy-based automation, and access reporting for audits? You shouldn’t have to, right? What about all of those on-premise and cloud-based web applications? Are they included as part of your existing governance policies and controls?
We think it shouldn’t matter if you want to govern access to your on-premise payroll application or to a cloud-based CRM solution. It’s important for any IAM as-a-service solution to be able to provide SSO, governance, and provisioning capabilities to all applications.
