SailPoint AccessIQ provides single sign-on (SSO) for internal Web applications including company portals, custom Web applications, collaboration tools like SharePoint, and enterprise applications like SAP and Oracle E-Business suite. Additionally, SailPoint announced the immediate availability of the SailPoint AccessIQ mobile app for iOS and Android devices, providing today's mobile workforce with secure and greatly simplified access to cloud and Web applications from mobile devices. With these new capabilities, AccessIQ is the industry's only solution that can provide business users with a single SSO solution spanning cloud and on-premises Web applications, as well as mobile devices, while enforcing appropriate levels of security policy and controls.

Organisations are under increasing pressure from their business users to deliver a boundary-free SSO experience, regardless of where the applications are hosted or if the employee is accessing them via a PC, tablet, or smart phone. Yet at the same time, it is imperative that IT puts the right controls in place for governing access to high-risk applications. AccessIQ allows IT to deliver that convenience with-control by combining SSO, risk-based strong authentication and integrated preventive, and detective controls, such as approval workflow for access requests, access certifications, and policy violation detection.

"Many organisations are struggling with limited SSO tools that only address a subset of applications that employees use on a day-to-day basis, and do not seamlessly integrate with provisioning and identity governance solutions," said Jackie Gilbert, GM and vice president of SailPoint's Cloud Business Unit.

"It's important to understand that today's workforce accesses dozens of cloud and Web applications from their desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. SailPoint addressed this changing dynamic with AccessIQ, our first identity-as-a-service solution. With AccessIQ's new capabilities, enterprises can give their business users a streamlined and personalized SSO experience spanning cloud, Web, and mobile applications, while enforcing appropriate levels of security policy and controls."

SailPoint AccessIQ provides convenient, easy-to-use services such as cloud and Web SSO for employees, while empowering security managers to align policies governing "who should have access" to "how that access is actually being used." Through its' integration with SailPoint IdentityIQ, AccessIQ provides the industry's only fully integrated SaaS access management, provisioning, and identity governance solution - spanning cloud and on-premises web applications.

AccessIQ delivers the highest levels of security and access control by offering step-up authentication based on a variety risk factors including user roles and entitlements, policy violations, user risk score, application risk score, and more.

Delivered as a SaaS solution, AccessIQ deploys quickly and allows enterprises to immediately take advantage of convenient cloud services coupled with improved visibility and oversight over their usage. The AccessIQ mobile applications are available for download from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, allowing users to access cloud and Web apps on the go from mobile devices like iPads and a variety of Android devices.
