Centrify for Google AppsEnhance the security, deployability and SSO experience of Google Apps

Google Apps, one of the fastest growing email and collaboration solutions in the enterprise, represents another suite of SaaS and mobile apps for user access and a new silo of user identity that needs to be provisioned, managed and controlled by an IT staff that is already spread thin managing an ever-growing set of on-prem, cloud and mobile apps.

The Challenge: Identity and Access for Google AppsIncreasing Password SprawlGoogle Apps requires users to self-manage yet another username and password leading to either password reuse and/or storing multiple credentials in a non-secure way. Asking users to self-manage so many individual passwords leads to increased helpdesk calls for password resets and locked accounts – frustrating end users and reducing precious IT productivity.

Manual User AdministrationManually adding, updating, suspending and/or deleting user accounts in Google Apps as well as assigning users to the correct Google groups with expensive IT resources is a costly, time-consuming and error-prone process. Delays in suspending and/or deleting user accounts in Google Apps when an employee leaves the company can expose corporate intellectual property (IP) running the risk of compliance failures and related security concerns including corporate data theft.

Ineffective Mobile ManagementAsking Google Apps users to identify, deploy and configure the correct mobile client apps for Google Apps leads to increased help desk calls for assistance while also frustrating end users and prolonging the time it takes to get an employee fully productive. Lost or stolen devices represent an increasing source of vulnerability to unauthorized access to resources and data stored in Google Apps and associated mobile clients.

Secure Single Sign On (SSO)Centrify for Google Apps improves user productivity and satisfaction, and puts an end to account access related helpdesk calls by eliminating the need to remember another username and password and speeding up access to Google Apps with secure single sign-on.

Apps and the rest of your apps also reduces the attack surface associated with self-managed passwords avoiding

the fire drill cost and the embarrassment of a security breach.

to the correct email forums, web forums, Q&A forums and collaborative inboxes required for their specific job role. And when an employee leaves the company or changes job roles, Centrify protects intellectual property (IP) by suspending user accounts in Google Apps and automatically removes the ability to authenticate.

Unified Mobile ManagementCentrify for Google Apps enables users to be productive sooner with automatic, centralized deployment of Google Apps mobile clients such as Gmail, Google Drive and Google Docs, Sheets and Slides to enrolled mobile devices. Centrify prevents unauthorized access to, and protects intellectual property (IP) stored in, Google Apps by automatically removing access to Google Apps and also removing the client apps and data from the device when a user leaves or if a device is lost or stolen.

Automatic, Centralized Policy and Multifactor AuthenticationImprove IT administrator visibility and control with automatic, centralized management of access policies to Google Apps – including strong authentication—allowing IT to adapt to the shifting usage habits of users in a more granular and effective manner. When policy requires, Centrify can restrict usage to the corporate network, refuse access via unmanaged devices, restrict access by time of day or location and if necessary require additional factors of authentication. Centrify improves user productivity and eliminates help desk calls by making it easy to step up authentication to Google Apps via multifactor authentication: users simply open the Centrify mobile authenticator and a single tap is all it takes to access Google Apps.
