Notable products
SecureAuth IdP
SecureAuth Identity Provider (IdP) is the company’s main authentication, single sign-on, and identity management solution for cloud, mobile, web, and network security.[10][11]
SecureAuth supports over 20 multi-factor authentication methods, including Yubikeys, SMS text messaging, telephony OTPs, question and answer sessions, and e-mail dialogs. It allows the blocking of specific IP address ranges and sets up different workflows for trusted computers and public networks. It also integrates with various enterprise directories/data stores (Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP, Microsoft SQL, Lotus Notes, OpenLDAP, Novell eDirectory and others).[12]
In 2011 General Services Administration (GSA), an independent agency of the United States government, moved 17,000 employees to Google's cloud-based services using two-factor authentication based on technology from SecureAuth.[13][14][15][16]
In 2012, experts of Network World, an IT periodical, tested SecureAuth along with seven other SSO products by major B2B cloud authentication service providers. SecureAuth was recognized as the best on-premise product together with McAfee. However, the company’s pricing scheme was rated as the most complex.[17]
