GEC NEWS WIRECentrify has expanded support for Windows endpoints including laptops, desktops and mobile devices and joined AppConfig.org to streamline app and device provisioning, extend IT security policy and provide end-users with more device choices. These enhancements to Centrify’s mobile-centric identity management solutions will let organizations in the Middle East further realize seamless, context-aware policy across all the applications, endpoints and devices their users prefer, all from a single integrated solution.
This new feature builds on and extends Centrify’s existing industry-leading identity support for Mac, iOS. Linux and Android endpoints, as well as its Multi-Factor Authentication support for Linux and Windows login and privilege elevation. Combined with Centrify’s released Analytics Service that uses machine learning to assess risk based on user behavior patterns, organizations get needed help in stopping anomalous access requests across apps, sites, and resources.
“Centrify’s goal is to stop breaches through the power of identity services, and by tightly integrating mobile and identity policy into a single solution, we are creating a more robust way to ensure that only the right people have access to the right apps and data from managed devices,” said Kamel Heus, regional manager – MEA, Centrify.
Centrify Identity Service enables organizations to get more value from their investment by allowing greater endpoint choice, without compromising security. Centrify leverages endpoints such as Windows as the means to facilitate MFA to enable stronger authentication and lessen organization’s dependency on security via passwords.
