Micro Focus Advanced Authentication and AccessSSO are now available to implement as-a-Service to ease regulatory burdens and security complexities
Global Infrastructure software company, Micro Focus (LSE: MCRO.L) today announced the availability of Micro Focus as-a-Service Advanced Authentication and AccessSSO solutions. This new offering provides Managed Service Providers (MSPs) a set of solutions to their customers, either as a stand-alone component or part of a platform, that addresses the difficulty of meeting increasingly complex compliance regulations and securing essential business data with enterprise-level reliability.
MSPs are in demand of finding a reliable solution to address single sign-on and multi-factor authentication that they can confidently include in their offerings. These solutions alleviate the need for infrastructure investment as well as the skilled employee resources required to manage the onsite technology for access management.
“Micro Focus has been providing solutions to enterprise customers for decades reliably and securely,” said Tracey Mead, Micro Focus VP North America Channels & Global System Integrators. “MSPs can be confident that Micro Focus brings the level of maturity, knowledge, product development and support that large enterprise customers demand to businesses of all sizes. The channel is, and will continue to be, an integral piece of Micro Focus's business.”
Single sign-on and secure authentication continue to be a significant challenge for IT managers tasked with overseeing an increasingly dispersed workforce as they leverage the latest cloud-based applications and services. To enable today’s mobile workforce and maintain productivity while reducing risk, organizations need to deploy a single authentication framework for all devices and methods that authenticates to all their applications, while at the same time work toward reducing the burden on IT teams that are often responsible for managing and maintaining a number of complex and business-critical infrastructures.
With Micro Focus Advanced Authentication and AccessSSO now being offered as-a-Service, via the ConnectWise platform, this solution gives companies the freedom to assemble their own platform from a mix of on-premise and as-a-service technologies from which they run their services.
“Challenges continue to mount for IT teams tasked with managing the complexity of delivering simple and convenient access to their internal and customer facing resources, while also trying to stay out of the latest security breach headlines,” said Kent Purdy, Micro Focus Solutions Marketing Manager. “With Micro Focus Advanced Authentication and AccessSSO now being offered as-a-Service via the ConnectWise platform, organizations can leverage the same set of robust features they’re accustomed to using with these Micro Focus solutions – but now with the additional productivity and flexibility benefits of the cloud.”
AccessSSO will be on display at ConnectWise’s Automation Nation, the premier event for ConnectWise Automate, on July 19-21 at the Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek & Waldorf Astoria Orlando.
