SaaS Vendors Boost Sales and Enhance End User
Experience by Streamlining Standards-Based Single Sign-On and
Simplifying Cloud Security
CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced the CA Security
SaaS Validation Program to help Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
providers boost sales and customer adoption while enhancing
security for their SaaS-based applications.
Part of the company’s Technology Partner Program, this new
validation program provides a quick and easy way for SaaS providers
to create and confirm standards-based single sign-on (SSO)
interoperability between their offerings and CA SiteMinder® and CA
CloudMinder™, the market-leading SSO solutions from CA
Technologies.
As enterprises increasingly deploy SaaS solutions, they need to
be able to integrate them into their existing SSO environment to
maintain a good user experience and consistent security across
applications and SSO sessions.
"Dropbox is excited to work with CA Technologies to offer sign
sign-on functionality to Dropbox for Business customers around the
world," said Ari Friedland, head of Business Development, Dropbox
for Business. “Having validated the interoperability of CA's SSO
solutions, we look forward to providing our users with seamless
access to their Dropbox for Business accounts."
Documentation created during the validation process can be used
by customers to quickly integrate SaaS solutions with CA SiteMinder
or CA CloudMinder SSO in their own environment. Support for
standards such as SAML, WS-Fed and others help make the integration
and validation with CA Technologies SSO offerings seamless.
"Customers depend on our simple-to-use, powerful SaaS tools for
collaboration and data sharing to run their business," said Matt
Lull, managing director, Strategic Alliances, Citrix. "The CA
Technologies Security SaaS Partner program provides checkpoints in
the integration and validation process that help them in delivering
a seamless experience to our joint customers."
For convenience, the integration and testing aspects of the
program can be easily completed by SaaS vendors in a self-service
environment hosted by CA Technologies, or it can be done with
assistance from the CA Technologies partner team. After official
validation by CA Technologies, interoperability details are
documented in a runbook that outlines a repeatable, step-by-step
integration process, along with key tips and troubleshooting
guidance.
“Making security as strong and simple as possible for our
customers is our top priority. Ensuring seamless integration with
our federated single sign-on capabilities, and the leading SaaS
applications used by enterprises is one way we’re making user
access more secure and simplified,” Lina Liberti, senior vice
president, Security product management, CA Technologies. “Our
thorough validation process takes simplification a step further by
providing runbooks with tips and guidance for partners and end
users, and by providing an environment that allows partners to
self-test.”
