TriCipher myOneLogin Secures Access to Social Networks

Combines Web-based Strong Authentication with Single Sign On Convenience

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 (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.
