Novell SecureLogin Positioned in the Leaders Quadrant for Enterprise Single Sign-On

Evaluation based on completeness of vision and ability to execute

(PresseBox) (Düsseldorf, )
Novell today announced it has been positioned in the leaders quadrant of Gartner, Inc.'s, "Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Single Sign-On, 2007" by Gregg Kreizman, August 30, 2007. Novell(R) SecureLogin, the company's single sign-on solution, helps organizations manage the complicated process of providing users with access to company networks and resources. SecureLogin eliminates the need for users to manage multiple passwords, allowing enterprise customers to improve network security and better automate business processes to deliver bottom-line savings.

According to Gartner, "Improved user convenience and support cost reductions remain the top drivers for clients implementing enterprise single sign-on (ESSO). The 'sweet spots' for ESSO implementations are in enterprises where password-related help desk costs are high, shared-workstation support is needed, and users must manage a sustained, politically unacceptable number of user IDs and passwords for at least the next two years, despite attempts to reduce this complexity with other reduced sign-on (RSO) tools and techniques."

With Novell SecureLogin, employees use only a single, secure login to authenticate to corporate resources. Powerful wizards help customers extend simple single sign-on access to numerous terminal, Java and complex web applications across multiple operating platforms. SecureLogin is seamlessly integrated with Novell's portfolio of powerful identity, access management, and security and information event monitoring solutions to provide customers with a robust, integrated solution for supporting governance, risk management and compliance initiatives.

"We are proud to be positioned in the Gartner Magic Quadrant as we think this is another proof point that Novell is developing innovative technologies to help our customers manage and secure their heterogeneous IT environments," said Jim Ebzery, senior vice president and general manager for Identity and Security Management at Novell. "Novell SecureLogin is instrumental in increasing employee productivity by simplifying access to corporate resources and eliminating the cost of password-related calls to helpdesks. Our customers can mitigate risks to their environments with automated enforcement of security policies and restricted network access to ensure compliance with government regulations for identity, privacy, audit and authentication services."
