Cloud security company, Symplified said that its SinglePoint platform has integrated with Google Apps to provide centralised, granular access control, single sign-on (SSO), and auditing for enterprise users of the online collaboration suite.
Symplified claims that SinglePoint addresses policy enforcement, regulatory compliance, and directory integration demands facing organisations that want to use Google Apps, but require security that deepens granularity and spans multiple SaaS apps.
To help enterprises with security, audit, and compliance needs, SinglePoint natively integrates Google Apps with on-premise identity infrastructures including LDAP, Microsoft Active Directory, databases, and portals, the company said.
According to Symplified, SinglePoint provides a complement of access management capabilities for Google Apps. These include: policy-based granular controls to restrict which users can access individual resources and data; maintaining a detailed audit trail of which users access specific resources and data; and the ability to enforce Chinese wall security policies for access to applications and data across organisational units for compliance.
Other capabilities include: a Cloud SSO capability that extends Google Apps user credentials to any Cloud or SaaS application that supports SAML or HTTP logins; a SSO application that bridges both public Cloud and private Clouds enabling consistent policies across both domains; and persona mapping of identity that reconciles different usernames required to access internal enterprise resources and Google Apps.
Symplified has also joined the Google Enterprise Partner program to facilitate continued collaboration and integration between Symplified and Google.
Eric Olden, founder and CEO of Symplified, said: “SinglePoint provides granular access control, ironclad auditing, and simplified single sign-on that make Google Apps even more enterprise-ready. We are excited to join the Google Enterprise Partner program and announce this integration as the first of Symplified’s many collaboration initiatives with Google.”
