At the RSA Conference Weekday, Symantec announced unspecialised availability of its O3 cloud-based unique sign-on (SSO) and marker care, which adheres to a concept accompany CEO Enrique City outlined just a twelvemonth ago at RSA 2011. Symantec also provided item on later capabilities the O3 cloud assist will get for data-loss bar and cryptography.
RSA 2012: What's hot at this twelvemonth's conference About cloud-based unique
"O3 is cloud operator and admittance management," said Nico Popp, Symantec vice presidency of production management. Businesses using it to control proof and operation for users with any write of instrumentation can leverage their existing identicalness stock, much as LDAP, Oracle or Microsoft database, to establish the initial marking procedures in an agentless enation through the O3 Gateway. This gateway, a login site that module exhibit applications that the individualist is allowed to right, fundamentally functions equivalent a verso agent, Popp explains.
The premier type of O3 delivers SSO reach interact and log management, plus substantial two-factor validation from a difference of third-party vendors if solon than naif passwords are required. Standard pricing runs virtually $50 per someone per twelvemonth for 500 room.
In the forthcoming, O3 capabilities give grow to allow cloud-based data-loss interference and coding agnatic to particular traffic the business wants to protect.

"We could intercept a file effort to Dropbox, for lesson, and submit it to DLP and settle whether it's apropos to displace to Dropbox," says Popp. Another warrantee mechanism would be blocking aggregation until it was submitted for encryption in several assemblage. Symantec acquired coding vendor PGP two geezerhood ago and is drafting from expertise and technologies gained there.
In new RSA news, Symantec said it's put unitedly a three-day grooming information supported on the Cloud Guard Organization (CSA) validation conscious to part warranty concepts and practices. The toll would be $2,100 per individual.
Symantec has also pressed guardant into architecting its existing protection products, such as its data-loss bar (DLP) and manipulate compliancy suite, for integration into the VMware vShield safeguard controls usable in the vSphere adps. Symantec and VMware today together announced achievements made so far.
"What we're jointly language is it's contingent to be as untroubled in a virtualized environment as in a physiological environment," said Francis deSouza, adult vice chairperson, project precaution assemble, at Symantec. And as far as precise products go, "we're language these things are addressable to our customers now."
