Identity and access management (IAM) is a cornerstone of the modern enterprise, helping you manage and secure employee, customer, and other identities, and their access to apps and data, both in the cloud and on-premises. In the past few months, we helped you simplify access to traditional LDAP apps, control access to web apps and VMs without a VPN, and add identity management to your own apps and services.

Today, Google is announcing five new ways to help you adopt the BeyondCorp security model and improve IT, developer, and end-user efficiency:

• Context-aware access enhancements, including the launch of BeyondCorp Alliance.
• Security key built into your Android phone—one of the strongest defenses against phishing now available through the convenience of your phone.
• Cloud Identity enhancements, including single sign-on to thousands of additional apps and integration with human resource management systems (HRMS).
• General availability of Identity Platform, which you can use to add identity management functionality to your own apps and services.
• Availability of Managed Service for Microsoft Active Directory for select customers.
