Organizations these days have adopted the cloud for their operations, and securing their data on the cloud is the next logical and vital step for them. For the same, they are considering cloud-based Single Sign-On (SSO) and Identity Access Management (IAM) solutions due to all benefits they bring. Because all the confidential data is stored on cloud-based SaaS applications, having cloud-based SSO and IAM solutions in place does make a lot more sense these days.
While considering cloud-based SSO/IAM providers some vendors become a natural choice, due to their maturity and large-size adoption of their technology across the world. Some of these are:
- Okta
- OneLogin
- PingIdentity
- Bitium
These are leaders in the market and any organization looking for such solutions will first consider one of the above for all the good reasons. Although all these vendors do provide mature solutions in SSO and IAM space, they do lack capabilities from the cloud security perspective. Cloud Security vendors may integrate their solution with vendors like Okta or OneLogin to provide their solution. This means that the customers have to buy multiple solutions for SSO, IAM, and other security requirements. This is where CloudCodes becomes an appropriate solution for customers looking for SSO or IAM + other cloud security solutions.
Why Organizations Should Consider CloudCodes?
CloudCodes is a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) solution provider. But unlike almost all vendors (except one), they do have Single Sign On(SSO) and Identity Access Management (IAM) pieces as part of their solution offerings. They may not have a very mature solution in both of these, but they provide around 60% of features provided by any strong SSO and IAM solution providers in the market.

It provides the organization with controls that allows them to extend their security control beyond their organizational boundaries. In simple layman’s terms, it allows It to create a virtual firewall on the cloud for the enterprise data residing on various cloud service providers’ environments.
