TriCipher myOneLogin Secures Access to Social Networks

Posted on: Monday, 31 March 2008, 12:00 CDT

LOS GATOS, Calif., March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- TriCipher today announced the integration of popular social network sites MySpace, LinkedIn, Plaxo, YouTube, Classmates.com, Friendster and others with myOneLogin (http://www.myonelogin.com/), the first Web-based service to combine strong authentication and single sign- on (SSO), giving customers a secure and convenient way to access online applications.

The addition of these social networks triples the number of major Web-applications integrated with myOneLogin, just one month after TriCipher launched the service. Other applications that can be securely and conveniently accessed through a single myOneLogin account include salesforce.com, WebEx, Google Apps and Microsoft Outlook Web Access.

"Social networks, like other Web-based applications, have become part of the work day, and employees use them to communicate with colleagues, customers, partners and friends," said John De Santis, TriCipher CEO. "myOneLogin gives companies the security they need with the convenience employees want -- with a single username and password to securely connect to third-party and internal Web-based applications."

Today, employees often use the same login information to access multiple applications. If a hacker steals one username and password, that information could be used to gain access to critical business data.

myOneLogin helps businesses implement controls that protect employees' access to Web-based applications. As a result, companies safeguard confidential data like customer and financial information -- addressing security, identity protection and compliance concerns.

TriCipher myOneLogin streamlines password policies and compliance reporting, mitigates the risk of phishing and eliminates the need for expensive authentication hardware and software.

The secure SSO solution works with any Web-based application that supports federation standards such as Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), OpenID or a typical username and password. New applications can be added in a matter of hours.

myOneLogin offers various levels of protection, including browser cookies, mutual authentication, certificates and mutual secure socket layer (SSL) connections. The service's behind-the-scenes architecture ensures that even if employees' usernames and passwords are compromised, fraudsters would not have the complete credential to connect to applications, protecting data stored on third-party applications.
