Identity Management and Authentication - Cloud and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)

With the accelerating adoption of cloud-based SaaS applications, organisations are increasingly facing new identity and access management (IAM) related challenges, including:

• Proliferation of credentials
• Separate user repositories for each SaaS application
• Control of access entitlements and the identity lifecycle
• IAM interoperability: enterprise, cloud and social media
• Cloud identity authentication and provisioning: standards, proprietary integration and vendor lock-in
• Mobile application authentication and credential management
• Support for multi-factor authentication
• Support for identity attribute aggregation
• Identity gateways, bridges, routers
• Consistent application of security and privacy policy
• Scalability of cloud-based IAM

Galexia offers a number of Cloud IAM services:

• Policy development
• Strategy development

	Case Study: AEMO - Single Sign On (SSO) with Cloud (Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)) Galexia provided AEMO (Australian Energy Market Operator) with options for implementing Single Sign-On (SSO) to external Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications. Our consultants performed an analysis of AEMO's authentication requirements, internal and external applications, and existing processes. We used our expert knowledge of cloud-based SSO technology vendors and solutions to select and cost the best approach, based on proven cloud identity design principles and best practices.
