Dell launches Cloud Access Manager 8.0 for secure application access

To enable secure and convenient access to the applications that users require, Dell has announced the release of Dell One Identity Cloud Access Manager 8.0, which leverages Dell’s new Security Analytics Engine to give organizations control of web-based applications and OpenID Connect-compliant mobile application access activities within the organization. This control improves security and enables easier, appropriate access across a wide range of application types and access scenarios.

Murli Mohan, Director & General Manager, Dell Software Group, said, “In a connected world, legacy approach to security is slowly becoming irrelevant as they operate in isolation, thus compelling the organization to manage each unit separately; which ultimately leads to futile and inept complexity and, in the process, increases cost and risks. The latest CAM 8.0 addresses all the issues at hand, and provides security in context capabilities of Dell’s Security Analytics Engine. Our customers get an empowering view of the access activities across their organization, and let the user focus on his work without any hindrance.”

Cloud Access Manager 8.0 adds powerful, adaptive control to its already extensive access control over activities across the organization, empowering better, more accurate access decisions

Cloud Access Manager provides unified single sign-on that includes federation and legacy authentication types, along with the capabilities of Dell’s Security Analytics Engine to execute security in context – the “who, what, where, how, and why” of access activities – and adjust enforcement to ideally suit the situation. Dell’s Security Analytics Engine correlates this contextual information with enforcement capabilities to make all access appropriate every time, all the time, and without hindering productivity for an ever-evolving user who continues to access applications in new and more complex ways.
