NetIQ unveils CloudAccess 2.0 Version for SaaS Applications

To securely extend existing IAM processes to include cloud-based SaaS applications, NetIQ has released the latest version of its single sign-on (SSO) virtual appliance, NetIQ CloudAccess 2.0. With CloudAccess 2.0, IT teams can more easily extend access controls beyond the firewall to SaaS applications in order to protect sensitive data and deliver a one-touch, consistent experience for users from their desktop, laptop or mobile device.

CloudAccess 2.0 can extend the convenience and security of SSO that has been established for on-premise applications to those in the cloud, helping organizations protect valuable, sensitive or regulated information.
 
“SaaS use in the business world is exploding, and IT teams face the challenge of keeping up with the pace of adoption while meeting both the demands of highly-mobile business users and protecting corporate information. CloudAccess 2.0 makes it simpler and easier and more secure for users to access these cloud based services – whether it be from a desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone – giving IT a greater advantage in solving this challenge,” noted Geoff Webb, Senior Director, Solution Strategy, NetIQ.
 
NetIQ CloudAccess 2.0 is generally available today worldwide. Enterprise pricing and licensing starts at $16 per user, which includes first year Priority Maintenance.
