CoreSight and Imprivata "Sign-On"
Imprivata recently inked their first Australian partnership with Australian IT security specialists, CoreSight. Imprivata’s OneSign appliance is known primarily for enabling enterprise single sign-on that is simple, secure and effective.
Melbounre, Australia, October 05, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Imprivata, US identity management specialists recently signed an initial Australian partnership agreement with Melbourne-based security specialists, CoreSight.
Imprivata’s flagship OneSign range ships as an appliance pair (or distributed appliances), and is recognised for delivering enterprise single sign-on that is simple, secure and effective.
CoreSight’s Scott Jackson commented “since Imprivata’s recent push into this market, there has been significant interest in their OneSign range. Several organisations have reached the proof of concept stage, and with a typical POC implemented in only a couple of days, we expect to have a number of clients before the end of the year.”
Imprivata’s OneSign adopts a refreshing approach to the challenges posed by single sign-on. Make it simple, non-intrusive and make the process of adding applications as quick and easy as possible. OneSign’s is able to securely leverage existing infrastructure – and the transparent sign-on process with integrated smarts like behind the scenes password changing and self-service password resets both users and administrators are happy.
“Although the Imprivata OneSign technology is applicable to all industries, we’re finding that the healthcare, financial services and government areas are the most interested today”, Jackson said. “Regulatory and privacy drivers in these areas seem to have created a better understanding of the benefits from making password management transparent for users. At the same time they realise they can increase the security of application logins without having to change code or the directory schema.”
Without sacrificing functionality or security, Imprivata OneSign is significantly less complex than most competitive solutions. Shorter implementation time and reduced upfront costs mean a quicker payback period. And by implementing SSO organisations can tick off many regulatory requirements and security best-practices without the delays that some identity and access management projects can bring.
CoreSight is already a seasoned player in the authentication market, courtesy of their partnership with VASCO Data Security since 2003. Imprivata’s OneSign can leverage off existing authentication methods such as biometrics, smartcards, proximity readers and tokens. And OneSign also has VASCO’s software integrated directly into the appliance, for organisations that don’t favour an existing authentication service.
