Kaseya, the
leading provider of complete IT management solutions for Managed Service
Providers (MSPs) and small to midsized businesses, today announced the
immediate availability of Kaseya AuthAnvil On-Demand,
its cloud-based identity and access management (IAM) solution. Kaseya
AuthAnvil incorporates the first and only Universal Directory enabling
MSPs to manage all of their customer IAM needs in a comprehensive,
standard and consistent fashion while seamlessly supporting the broad
mix of directory management technologies deployed in their customer
base.
According to Kaseya's 2016 Global MSP Pricing Survey,
high-growth MSPs consider security services as a key competitive
advantage to enable them to address their client's number one concern,
which is "heightened security risks." The release of AuthAnvil On-Demand
enables MSPs to empower their customers to gain authenticated and
secure access to both on-premise and cloud applications from virtually
any device.
The AuthAnvil On-Demand authentication suite consists of:
Multifactor Authentication (MFA): Delivering
an unprecedented level of identity assurance by validating access is
only permitted by authorized users. Access to devices and applications
can be unlocked with popular mobile devices like iPhone, and Android
as well as popular Universal Second Factor (U2F) hardware key technology
from companies like Yubico.
Single Sign-On (SSO): Enabling users to
sign-on once to access all their working web applications. It is
integrated with MFA to verify identity and with Password Management to
automate the login process, and makes provisioning and de-provisioning
users a snap.
Universal Directory: Enabling a cloud-based
directory service to allow for a single source of truth when it comes to
providing attribute-based identity management to staff and customers.
Allows enterprise-class federated access to cloud applications at any
scale, even when customer networks are not online or available on the
Internet.
MSPs can utilize AuthAnvil On-Demand to:
- Add standalone custom branded IDaaS service offerings to
offer best-in-class MFA, Password Management, and SSO for cloud
services such as Salesforce.com, Dropbox, Office365, as well as
on-premise applications like SharePoint, Exchange and Microsoft
Dynamics.
- Create comprehensive user-based security offerings
incorporating IDaaS, anti-virus, anti-malware, and cloud-based backup
offerings from Kaseya's broad portfolio of industry leading MSP
solutions.
- Harden the security of their internal client operations
center by restricting access to client management tools, strengthening
and protecting client passwords, and immediately terminating access
privileges for former employees
