Mobility and the cloud, two mega trends that
have changed the way we live and work, all by
themselves. But what does it mean in terms of
security for users and data when they
collide? Right now, close to 30 percent of
employees use their personal devices for
work. And that number is on the rise.
Potentially turning BYOD into bring your own
disaster. You see, you've got the business
side loving the productiveness of the cloud.
Most firms see cloud apps as the perfect way
to support a mobile workforce. But IT's job
is to protect the organization. With more
than a third of business-critical apps and
data housed in the cloud, it's hard to have
eyes on all of them. In fact, IT can't see a
significant number of apps and data. Shadow
IT and rogue apps are a big problem for IT.
What if there's a breach? Increasing use of
cloud services can increase the probability
of a $20 million breach by nearly three
times. What we need is a way to bridge the
gap between IT and business, for IT to
protect data without impacting productivity.
We need to stay mobile, use the cloud, and
still be protected. But the big question is
how? Well, it's not by protecting the
devices. The company doesn't always have
control over those. And it's not by
protecting the apps. They're everywhere. Even
infrastructure is moving to the cloud.
Really, there is no perimeter. The only thing
left is people and data. What we need is to
extend the level of security to the cloud
that we had when data was behind a firewall.
At Symantec, we can do that, and we do it by
making sure that you never lose the three Cs.
Control, convenience, and compliance. IT, we
can help you manage rogue cloud apps and
establish a single point of control for users
so you can give access to only the apps they
actually need. Access based on identity or
context, expected user behavior. And because
Symantec is a leader in user-friendly, strong
authentication, you can also add a second
factor of authentication at login. That's a
layer of protection in front of all your
cloud apps. And we can do it all using your
existing infrastructure. Employees can now be
free from their desks, working anywhere, any
time, and on any device. And with single
sign-on, they can sign into their all their
apps with only one password to remember or
just a fingerprint. That's bringing the
business and IT together. Securing the cloud
through a single point of control, with the
flexibility to work anywhere on any device,
and tracking it all to make it a snap to
prove compliance, deployed your way, on
premise or in the cloud, and no passwords.
Control, convenience, and compliance. That's
Symantec Identity Access Manager.
