Online security company, AVG Technologies, has launched AVG Business Secure Sign-On (SSO) service. With the technology support from identity management provider, Centrify, AVG Business SSO works to provide AVG partners and business owners with a simple way to control company data on employees’ mobile devices and cloud applications.
“Mass ownership of personal mobile devices, the adoption of popular consumer cloud services like Skype and Dropbox for business purposes, and the impact of the Internet of Things have been the catalysts for true ‘business without walls’,” says Mike Foreman, general manager, AVG Business. “Business in a fully connected environment puts smaller firms at risk of data breaches. AVG Business SSO for the first time makes it simple for businesses without big budgets or in-house IT staff to keep company confidential data safe, private and within their control, even while it is shared with employee-owned mobile devices and externally hosted cloud services.”
Key features of AVG Business SSO include:
- Centralized control of cloud and mobile apps/data for one-click authentication of end-user mobile devices
- Identity policy, verification, and mobile device management service – including via Active Directory
- Password management capabilities
- Support for more than 2,500 of the most popular cloud-based business apps including Office 365, Salesforce, Webex, Facebook, and LinkedIn
