MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PerspecSys Inc., the leader in cloud data protection solutions for the enterprise, today announced it has achieved interoperability with some of the world’s leading Single Sign-On (SSO) and Identity Management solution providers including Symantec, RSA, Ping Identity and McAfee. Interoperability across the cloud security ecosystem is key for enterprise customers looking to leverage existing investments and deploy best-of-breed solutions. Compatibility with the PerspecSys Cloud Data Protection Gateway and a wider variety of SSO solutions underscores the company’s commitment to meeting both needs.
“PerspecSys delivers cloud data protection to some of the largest enterprises in the world and they all have one thing in common: they want standards-based, robust and scalable solutions – no exceptions”
An industry first, PerspecSys’ patent-pending technology supports interoperability with all SAML 2.0 based single sign-on solutions. For enterprises that rely on SSO to secure access to public cloud applications, this means they can now easily integrate PerspecSys’ cloud data protection solution into their existing environments. The PerspecSys Cloud Data Protection Gateway lets enterprises take full advantage of SaaS applications such as Oracle CRM On Demand, Salesforce.com, Xactly Incent and others, while ensuring their sensitive data remains on-premise, under their full control, and in compliance with data protection regulations at all times. PerspecSys’ solution does this without impacting an end-user’s ability to enjoy application functionality.
According to a recent Gartner report entitled “The Growing Importance of Cloud Access Security Brokers,” the ability to adopt a standards-based cloud security platform to meet multiple requirements is vital to addressing the increasing needs of corporate security professionals. “Organizations don’t want the complexity of managing siloed cloud security solutions that don’t integrate well with each other,” said Neil MacDonald, VP and Gartner Fellow. “Ideally, enterprises would use a platform for brokering cloud access security that includes interoperable identity services, encryption, tokenization, data loss prevention and other services.”
“PerspecSys delivers cloud data protection to some of the largest enterprises in the world and they all have one thing in common: they want standards-based, robust and scalable solutions – no exceptions,” said David Canellos, CEO of PerspecSys. “That’s why we engineered our solution to work seamlessly with leading identity management and SaaS solutions. By creating true interoperability in an enterprise security platform – tested and proven with our key partners – we can empower enterprises to not only actively leverage the cloud, but achieve compliance with data privacy regulations and sector specific mandates such as those seen in ITAR, HIPAA and PCI DSS.”
By increasing interoperability, PerspecSys is also supporting its goal of eliminating the security, compliance and usability barriers that prevent enterprises from moving to the cloud.

About PerspecSys’ Cloud Data Protection Gateway
The PerspecSys solution gives organizations important data privacy, residency and security capabilities when using cloud based applications. Sensitive information is secured through the use of tokenization or encryption (including FIPS 140-2 validated encryption modules that are required for ITAR compliance), ensuring the data remains undecipherable when it is processed or stored in the cloud. With PerspecSys, organizations can be confident that their data is protected with the strongest technology while their users enjoy the full functionality of their cloud applications. The PerspecSys solution is designed to be a platform that can support many popular cloud applications at the same time, such as Oracle CRM On Demand, Salesforce and Force.com, Xactly Incent, and others via “adapters” that enable interoperability between the application and the PerspecSys solution. PerspecSys currently delivers these capabilities to businesses in internationally regulated industries like financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, life sciences, retail and the public sector.
