Ethan Group first local cloud provider to offer cloud-based authentication
Australian IT-services provider Ethan Group has become the first local cloud provider to offer cloud-based authentication based on new white-labelled cloud authentication tools from SafeNet.
Launched this week, the SafeNet Authentication Service has been designed as a standards-based authentication framework that uses support for SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) and other standards to hook into popular cloud-based applications like Google Apps, Microsoft Office 365 and Salesforce.com. It also supports enterprise authentication frameworks like Active Directory and RADIUS, providing a bridge between cloud applications and corporate identity-management systems
