Kristanea Ltd is happy to announce the pilot start of its cloud service – Kristanea Identity-Management-as-a-Service (KIDaaS).
In order to fully realize the savings offered by SaaS cloud apps, businesses need a way to easily create and manage users (identities) across their entire portfolio of cloud apps—portfolios that usually span multiple platforms and can change often. IT administrators need to give users Single Sign-On (SSO) capability across the organization’s entire portfolio of apps. Controlling the depth of access in SaaS apps is just as important as it is for on-premises apps. So not just who gets access to the app, but exactly what they can access once they’re using that app. This can be critical in many business apps, as is defining the user’s role, cross-app authentication, and more advanced security measures such as multi-factor authentication, physical tokens or a biometric measure (fingerprint/vein/retina scan).
Equally as important is the management of existing Identity Providers such as Microsoft Active Directory (AD) or HR software. In many cases, identity information may be sourced from multiple repositories, requiring a system to not only manage identities in different systems but also be able to synchronize information between these systems, and provide a single source of truth when required.
To make all of this happen, admins need the ability to manage users in a fast-changing environment without having to manually perform actions that used to be simple changes to a user’s group membership properties in Microsoft AD. Having to manually adjust permissions, access, and control properties across dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of users every time a new SaaS service is deployed, it can be hard to implement, even if IT takes advantage of automation technologies such as scripting.
Kristanea expert knowledge in identity management solutions for enterprise organizations across the globe, helped set up an advance cloud-based service at a reasonable cost. Currently the service is provisioned for two customers, willing to contribute to the pilot run. Soon the service will be put to production and parameters announced in “Products & Services” section.
