Dell Launches Cloud Access Manager 8.0

Dell  announced the release of Dell One Identity Cloud Access Manager 8.0, which leverages Dell’s new Security Analytics Engine. The press release said this gives organizations control of web-based applications and OpenID Connect-compliant mobile application access activities within the organization. This control improves security and enables easier, appropriate access across a wide range of application types and access scenarios. Adding new social and mobile authentication capabilities, Cloud Access Manager gives users secure and convenient access to the broadest range of both, legacy and emerging applications, while providing IT with the security and control it requires.

Cloud Access Manager provides unified single sign-on that includes federation and legacy authentication types, along with the capabilities of Dell’s Security Analytics Engine to execute security in context – the “who, what, where, how, and why” of access activities – and adjust enforcement to ideally suit the situation. Dell’s Security Analytics Engine correlates this contextual information with enforcement capabilities to make all access appropriate every time, all the time, and without hindering productivity for an ever-evolving user who continues to access applications in new and more complex ways.

·         Security Analytics Engine: Performs run-time risk evaluations that help companies scale security based on situational context. Included with Cloud Access Manager 8.0 at no extra charge

·         Social Authentication: Addresses user password fatigue for customers who wish to enable single sign-on.
