Centrify has announced it has been selected as a Premier Partner in Dropbox’s new Partner Network.
Centrify offers a best-in-class Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) solution for Dropbox for Business that provides secure single sign-on, automatic user provisioning and mobile device management.
As part of this partnership, Centrify will integrate with Dropbox on two new security initiatives: Cloud Access Security, through integrations with mutual Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) partners, and Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM). Centrify is also a sponsor at Dropbox Open on November 4 in San Francisco.
Enterprises are facing an unprecedented increase in the complexity, scale and sophistication of cybersecurity attacks, with numerous studies pointing to compromised credentials as the leading attack vector.
Centrify Identity Service lets organisations quickly and securely deploy Dropbox by leveraging their existing corporate directory, eliminating identity silos across applications and simplifying access for users.
Centrify Identity Service also automates the provisioning of users into Dropbox based on their role, and lets organisations create comprehensive user access policies. Integrated cloud-based mobile device and application management also ensures that users’ mobile devices are secure, the Dropbox app is distributed to all authorised mobile users’ devices, and that users get simple yet secure password-free access to Dropbox for Business and their other business apps from any of their devices.
