Five simple steps to securing your corporate identities

Identity Challenges in today’s cloud and mobile World

Published May 2015

The days of on-site servers running local applications that could only be accessed via on-site PCs are over. An ever-increasing number of cloud apps are now available to consumers and businesspeople, and all it takes to adopt these new services is a browser and simple registration. In today’s cloud and mobile world, there’s no way IT can enforce a secure a perimeter around business data.

IT can no longer put a firewall between corporate data and the rest of the Internet, but there are new ways to enforce security policies. Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) solutions allow easy user access to apps, from any kind of device, while still securing and managing those apps. These new IDaaS solutions move away from the old perimeter-based security solutions, and instead apply security where it’s needed—across cloud apps.
