Passlogix v-GO Suite Named to '20 Products/20 Years' List of Influential IT Security Products by SC Magazine
Praised for Ease of Use & Ecosystem Approach to Password & Access Management
Nov 16, 2009 — New York, NY;
Passlogix®, Inc., today announced that its v-GO Access Accelerator Suite, an integrated set of single sign-on, authentication and provisioning enablement solutions, has been recognized by SC Magazine as one of 20 products that have made a significant impact on the IT security marketplace over the past two decades. Editor Peter Stephenson noted that the v-GO platform has “dominated the access management market” since the initial product in the suite – v-GO Single Sign-On – pioneered the enterprise single sign-on space in 1996.
“These (v-GO) modules take over much of the administrator-intensive tasks that slow down and complicate access management. We have reviewed most of the v-GO suite and the one thing that is obvious in each case is that the individual products are clearly part of an access management ecosystem,” Stephenson writes in the magazine’s November issue, He also praised the platform for its “simplicity, comprehensive feature set and ease of use” as well as for enabling enterprises to assemble the specific solution they need from the various modules in the suite.
SC Magazine has previously awarded ‘Best Buy’ honors and five-star reviews to several components of the v-GO suite.
“v-GO’s longevity, 15-million-license market penetration and global reach clearly demonstrate the value of the platform, but it is always gratifying to receive this kind of endorsement from experts who evaluate hundreds of products every year,” said Passlogix CEO Marc Boroditsky. “It validates the work we are doing, the differentiators we have built into the platform, and the important role that v-GO continues to play in helping organizations meet their password and access challenges.”
v-GO’s sign-on and access management tools help organizations improve business productivity, strengthen information security and regulatory compliance readiness, and streamline identity management deployments. The platform is anchored by v-GO Single Sign-On, which allows users to access any Windows, mainframe or Web application with a single Windows logon by automating username and password entry for each account.
Other v-GO solutions extend single sign-on to off-site employees, third-party partners and contractors from a corporate Web page; automate user sign-on and sign-off of kiosk sessions; securely manage shared passwords for administrators and others who must share account IDs; enable strong authentication to applications, desktops and networks without expensive custom integration; pre-load user IDs and passwords to the v-GO repository for easy provisioning; and automate resets of Windows logon passwords.
The v-GO suite scales to tens of thousands of users, enables wizard-based integration that eliminates the need to write scripts or connectors even to homegrown or legacy applications, and installs on existing servers without adding dedicated or proprietary hardware. These features lower the total cost of ownership and allow organizations to receive rapid payback on their investment.
