I-Net Adds Enterprise Single Sign-On with Passlogix v-GO Suite
Asian IT Service Provider Expands Portfolio to Include Password Management
Jul 19, 2010 — Singapore and New York, NY;
Asian IT service firm I-Net Solutions announced today that it has augmented its IT service offerings with the addition of Passlogix v-GO® Single Sign-On, the leading enterprise single sign-on (ESSO) solution for managing multiple application passwords, and related v-GO sign-on, authentication and provisioning solutions. The v-GO Suite of products is available immediately to I-Net clients in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, China and Thailand.
I-Net has already begun one v-GO deployment to provide simple, secure single sign-on for a multinational commodity trading firm with 500 nodes throughout Asia. The firm has also completed a pilot v-GO implementation for a regional telecommunications company with a complex IT environment that includes hundreds of applications, shared PCs, and numerous remote users requiring single sign-on from outside the corporate firewall.
v-GO was able to meet that client’s need for remote single sign-on with an industry-first on-demand feature that enables remote, mobile and temporary users to logon from a web portal with no need for software installation. That unique on-demand capability was a key factor in I-Net’s selection of Passlogix technology, along with v-GO’s rapid deployment without coding or modification to applications and broad range of capabilities including two-factor authentication against applications, shared account management and self-service password reset.
v-GO Single Sign-On and associated solutions are strengthening I-Net's network security services portfolio, which also consists of products from leading vendors such as Juniper, Symantec, Cisco, RSA and Sophos. I-Net also offers network and systems and storage products as well as consulting, systems integration, maintenance, IT outsourcing and managed services to organizations in multiple industries including banking and finance, education, manufacturing, oil and gas, and utilities and energy.
“Our clients have a growing number of applications and appliances, each with its own set of usernames and passwords with different composition rules and expiration dates. We are seeing increasing demand for a way to automate the logon process to eliminate user frustration with the password burden as well as forgotten passwords, insecure written password lists, and excessive password-related help desk calls,” said Michael Tan, Managing Director of I-Net. “v-GO offers a comprehensive solution suite for password management that addresses these issues quickly, securely and cost-effectively.”
“I-Net has a broad customer base, multiple offices across Asia, and a solid understanding of the need for single sign-on and other password management strategies. They have proven that already with their first two v-GO clients,” said Sean Harris, Senior Vice President of Global Sales for Passlogix. “They will be a valuable partner in the Asian market, both for us and for the organizations that turn to them for v-GO services.”
v-GO Single Sign-On enables users to access any Windows, mainframe or Web application with a single Windows logon rather than remembering, managing and inputting different passwords for each account. It also includes the ability to automate user sign-on and sign-off of kiosk sessions; add strong authentication to applications without expensive custom integration; and audit account usage to streamline identity management deployments.
Other v-GO products securely manage shared passwords for administrators and others who must share account IDs, automate resets of Windows logon passwords, and uniquely allow use of any strong authentication device from any vendor for logon to Microsoft Windows.
All v-GO products scale to tens of thousands of users, enable wizard-based integration that eliminates the need to write scripts or connectors even to homegrown or legacy applications, and install on existing servers without adding dedicated or proprietary hardware to minimize total cost of ownership and allow rapid payback on investment.
v-GO products are available immediately from I-Net (www.i-net.asia).
