Online security provider, AVG Technologies, has unveiled a preview of its new Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) services to partners attending its Cloud Summit this week in Phoenix, Arizona. Managed services provider (MSP) partners at the Summit had an exclusive first-look at how AVG’s full Cloud-security and remote monitoring & management (RMM) services portfolio can help MSPs deliver secure sign-on (SSO) for one-click security and control over their customers’ cloud applications and mobile data.
Underlying technology for AVG’s new IDaaS capability is driven by Centrify, a provider of unified identity management across cloud, mobile, and data center environments. Partners will soon be able to experience the integration of Multi Factor Authentication, Secure Sign-On, Mobile Device Management, and Mobile Application Management all managed through Active Directory †to simplify management.
“The aim of today’s game changing advance in the expansion of AVG CloudCare’s cloud-based security and mobile management capabilities is to help MSPs grow their businesses further by enhancing the levels of protection and control built in to their customer services,” says Mike Foreman, AVG’s general manager, SMB. “We know that with the rapid adoption of mobile, BYOD, and Cloud applications customers will require additional expertise from partners to help control and manage all their users’ applications and data. We are listening. That’s why, for the first time in this space, AVG is combining Centrify’s IDaaS capability with our existing RMM platform to provide a single, secure access layer to all our Cloud services as well as more than 2,500 of the most popular Cloud-based business apps for partners and their business customers.”
