Flux Developers Simplify PGP Security in File Workflows

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) September 27, 2011

Wade Routen, Flux Developer, has been an integral part of the PGP integration updates made to Flux, a proven leader in sophisticated enterprise job scheduling, managed file transfer, automated dataflows, and ETL automation.

Today, Flux released Mr. Routens article, PGP Simplicity in Your ETL and File Workflows, in which he reviews automated file and ETL workflows involving PGP, identifies some key areas, and asks "Does it have to be so complicated?"

The Flux development team doesnt think so. The inspiration for Fluxs new PGP features came from the teams regular discussions with developers and operations teams who are often bogged down in the implementation of security environments. PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) doesnt sound like it should be associated with difficulty, but the harsh reality is that the layered complexities that security introduces to a project can bring delays, exposure to risks, and costly mistakes.

"The key to any problem is simplicity. The easier it is to understand and use, the quicker you learn it and the less likely you are to make a mistake with it. With all the complexities of a PGP system, some simplicity is a welcome vacation," Routen writes in his article.

Flux takes all of these complexities and bundles them up into a central, easy-to-use workflow system for automated file transfer processes. With a simple, web-based user interface, operations teams now have an intuitive and straightforward environment to use PGP in the automated ebb and flow of their files across their networks and their partners networks. Key management is simplified, offering clear associations of keys to file sets.

Learn how Wade Routen and the rest of the Flux development team have tackled the creation of a simple PGP solution inside an already powerful ETL and file workflow orchestration product. By utilizing the functionality already available in Flux file transfer, PGP can become pretty darn easy.

VASCO Data Security and OneLogin Protect Customers Accessing the Cloud

OOK TERRACE, Illinois; ZURICH, Switzerland and San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 17, 2011

OAKBR VASCO Data Security International, Inc. (http://www.vasco.com), a leading software security company specializing in authentication products, and OneLogin, (http://www.onelogin.com) a cloud-based Identity and Access Management (IAM) provider, announce the integration of DIGIPASS as a Service with OneLogins single sign-on (SSO) portal. Now customers can securely access their OneLogin account with VASCOs strong authentication in an easy to use, convenient manner that is managed entirely in the cloud.

OneLogin offers identity and access management for enterprise Web applications. With one click, customers can access to more than 1,800 cloud applications. Now, VASCOs cloud-based authentication service, DIGIPASS as a Service, eliminates static passwords and introduces multi-factor authentication, making access to OneLogin more secure. This reduces the risk of unauthorized access to corporate data accessible through the Internet and eliminates the hassles associated with password management.

DIGIPASS as a Service is offered as a complete outsourced authentication model, in which VASCO manages the entire authentication process. The service is completely integrated with OneLogin so enterprises dont need to invest in an on-premise infrastructure to protect their cloud applications. The DIGIPASS as a Service offering includes a fully redundant hosted authentication back-end, the provisioning of DIGIPASS software, hardware or mobile authenticators to end-users, first line support and professional and fulfillment services. End-users can use the same DIGIPASS for multiple applications.

DIGIPASS as a Service is sold in a subscription model, on a monthly or yearly basis. The service supports as few as five users with an unlimited growth of users.

For VASCO customers that are not ready to move fully to the cloud and have already deployed IDENTIKEY, an off-the-shelf centralized authentication server that supports the deployment, use and administration of strong user authentication with DIGIPASS, OneLogin has also integrated support via the RADIUS protocol. Strong authentication available through both VASCOs cloud-based and on-premise offerings provides a migration path to the cloud for many organizations.

Security is the number one driver for identity and access management today, said Thomas Pedersen, chief executive officer of OneLogin. VASCOs strong authentication products combined with OneLogin bring bank-level security to thousands of cloud-based applications in a turnkey solution that is instantly accessible to organizations of any size.

Enterprises moving into the cloud need to take the security risks into account, especially since in addition to VPNs companies are enabling employee access to corporate data available through cloud applications. With the integration of VASCOs cloud-based DIGIPASS as a Service offering in OneLogin, enterprises can securely access their cloud applications and focus on their core business instead of security issues, said Jan Valcke, COO and President of VASCO Data Security.

About OneLogin:

OneLogin provides the fastest path to IAM in the cloud with an on-demand solution consisting of single sign-on, password management, multi-factor authentication, directory integration, user provisioning and an application catalog with over 1,800 pre-integrated applications, including AtTask, Box.net, Cornerstone OnDemand, DocuSign, Google Apps, LotusLive, Netsuite, Salesforce.com, SugarCRM, WebEx Workday, Yammer and Zendesk.
