Move into the Cloud with Secure Identities and Flexible Views

Cloud-based and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications are rapidly becoming critical to your enterprise’s daily functions. However, it’s difficult to make these applications work with your existing identity sources, such as directories, databases, and proprietary applications.

The Challenge: Leverage your Data Infrastructure for Cloud Applications

The expansion of the cloud requires you to smoothly integrate data into each new system your enterprise adopts, as well as to manage change in your cloud/SaaS applications based on events inside your enterprise. The more your identity is distributed across many systems, the greater the need to bring it together logically—to manage globally and act locally.

How can your enterprise reap the benefits of the cloud while maintaining and leveraging your current data structure?

The Solution: Enable Identity in the Cloud Through Virtualization

Enter RadiantOne’s identity federation platform. Our virtual directory server provides a central access point to distributed data systems, allowing them to maintain their own information, while presenting that information to applications as required. With a virtual directory server equipped with context management, enterprises can create custom views of data that span enterprise and cloud/SaaS systems, and deliver data via different protocols based on each application’s requirements. Through a virtual abstraction layer, RadiantOne brings together identity and contextual information from your cloud-based and physical sources, enabling a single view of your customers, partners, and employees.

Cloud-based and SaaS applications can now integrate with existing enterprise data, leading to a futureproof, long-term information infrastructure that grows and evolves with your enterprise. With RadiantOne, you can:

• Securely expose your internal directory to cloud/SaaS applications outside of your directory firewall.
• Create, update, and delete accounts in Cloud/SaaS apps based on events inside the firewall.
• Support federated authentication and authorization across all your data sources.
• Enable real-time change to access control enforcement based on dynamically created groups.
• Build unified identity profiles across enterprise and Cloud/SaaS applications.
