GlobalSign Allows Organizations to Extend SaaS Based Digital Certificate Deployments Into Windows Environments
SAN FRANCISCO, CA and BOSTON, MA, Feb 26, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
(RSA Conference 2013) -- GlobalSign, the enterprise SaaS-based
Certificate Authority (CA), today announced it will demonstrate its
Auto Enrollment Enterprise Gateway during RSA Conference 2013. The
GlobalSign Auto Enrollment Enterprise Gateway provides organizations
using Active Directory(R) with seamless digital certificate
registration and provisioning via a SaaS-based service that
eliminates costs and the need for resources to manage an on-premise
CA. The GlobalSign Auto Enrollment Enterprise Gateway is the latest
example of the company delivering comprehensive services that are
focused on increasing value, reducing costs and improving the digital
certificate management process for both the end user and IT
Administrators.
"In a recent survey, we discovered that a majority of organizations
using Microsoft Certificate Services were concerned with the risks
and complexity of maintaining and managing their service. This wasn't
surprising, as experts in certificate management are not typically
part of internal IT teams," said Ryan Hurst, CTO, GlobalSign. "The
lack of experts should not stop IT from implementing the most robust
and efficient method of deploying certificates. With this new
service, organizations can leverage expertly managed certificates
while receiving the full benefit of their existing investment in
identity management."
Because the gateway integrates with Active Directory, the certificate
issuance process eliminates the need for multiple user databases and
transparently delivers certificates to authorized users and machines.
By providing organizations with SaaS-based access to hosted CA
services, the gateway removes the cost and complexity associated with
internal CA operations while allowing users to retain certificate
services inherent in Windows(R) server environments. With the
gateway, organizations have the ability to maintain the integrated
functionality of Active Directory while benefiting from a third-party
public CA whose expertise is rooted in managing complicated
cryptographic key and certificate processes. In addition, the Auto
Enrollment Gateway is a compelling alternative for organizations
using a SaaS-based CA provider that operates independently of an
organization's Active Directory.
