Intel publishes Cloud Cloud SSO cloud-based Password Management Service

Recently, according to foreign media reports, Intel Corporation released a cloud-based password management Service Cloud SSO, which is a very small pressure on Intel's competitor Symantec. It is understood that this service has been Salesforce.com applied on its website.

In February, Intel released a beta version of single sign-on (Cloud SSO), which has been tested by more than 20 companies. "We are trying to make this service more popular, and we believe we have developed products similar to those of Symantec and Symplified," said Vikas Jain, director of Vikas's identity and security product management. ”

Cloud SSO provides the company with an online console that provides the ability to select application services that apply to every employee. For those using Apple iOS and Android smartphones as well as platforms, the service is a mobile application used to post passwords before.

For those users who want to integrate cloud SSO into the premise identity repositories, such as Active directory and LDAP, Intel also provides an identity bridge (identity Bridge) component, which will be configured in the user's premise server. Vikas said, "Identity Bridge will use Intel's single sign-on service to connect the enterprise's internal data, and the Enterprise Library for all unified authentication management will be completed." ”

In addition to consolidating cloud-based password management services into Salesforce, Intel has also connected Cloud SSO to the chip-based Identity protection technology (chip-based Identity homeowner Marvell) discovered from the most recent kernel processors. This consolidation allows users to log on to the online service without having to type the cloud SSO generated before, because the password lock is stored in the PC's chip unified authentication Management database.

Vikas said, "This is equivalent to getting a support for the second Factor Unified authentication Management (Second-factor authentication) hardware, which is much more secure than typing the password directly into the browser. ”

Cloud SSO starts selling at $5 a month, which includes an unlimited number of applications and 24-hour support services.
