LogMeIn Inc. today unveiled an expanded suite of LastPass Business solutions bringing to life a comprehensive identity offering, built for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Expanding beyond its signature password management capabilities, the new LastPass Business lineup introduces new single-sign-on (SSO) technology for more than 1,200 apps, as well as LastPass MFA, an adaptive, biometric-based authentication solution, and LastPass Identity, a unified access and authentication solution to securely manage user identity. As a result, companies of all sizes and resources can now quickly and easily deploy an affordable, flexible identity solution, significantly improving the security posture of the modern workplace.

The\n news represents a major milestone in LogMeIn\u2019s longer-term strategy to \nredefine cloud identity and expand LastPass into a complete Identity \noffering for the SMB market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhile SSO provides security and convenience and is a fundamental component of any Identity and Access Management program, it doesn\u2019t cover all of the apps being used in a workplace. Let\u2019s face it: sometimes implementing SSO with a SAML compliant application can be a lot of work as not all applications implement SAML well. The reality of today\u2019s work environment is that hundreds of cloud applications are being introduced by employees and the IT teams are pressured to achieve high levels of security without introducing complex authentication processes that may reduce workforce productivity,\u201d said Frank Dickson, Program Vice President, Cybersecurity Products at IDC. \u201cPutting a unified identity solution in place ensures all of those applications are \u2018captured\u2019 and managed by IT policies, relieving the burden on the IT department.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
