Security in the Cloud

Smarter Security in the Cloud — Expediting Federated Single Sign-On with Lighthouse Gateway

As cloud computing continues to grow in popularity, organizations are adopting the use of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) at a rapid pace. Common SaaS applications include Salesforce.com, Concur, ADP and others. With the adoption of these applications, users can easily become burdened with an ever-growing portfolio of IDs and passwords. At the same time, failing to appropriately manage users within these applications can lead to security issues — such as terminated employees continuing to gain access to critical cloud resources.
To combat these challenges, federation technology allows organizations to begin managing identities in the cloud while providing users with Single Sign-On (SSO) to these applications. Learn how Lighthouse Gateway, a cloud-based Identity and Access Management system built upon IBM Tivoli software, can expedite the implementation of federation for your organization while saving you nearly 60 percent of the traditional ownership costs!
