SAN FRANCISCO, CA and BARCELONA, SPAIN -- (Marketwire) -- 02/25/13 -- (RSA Conference 2013 Booth 233) (Mobile World Congress 2013 Stand 8.1A51 in App Planet - Hall 8.1) -- Centrify Corporation, the leader in Unified Identity Services across data center, cloud and mobile, today announced the general availability of Centrify for Mobile 2013 and Centrify for SaaS 2013, a set of integrated capabilities enabled by the Centrify Cloud Services platform that delivers secure, enterprise-class mobility with integrated application Single Sign-on (SSO) to improve security and increase workforce productivity in the enterprise.

Centrify's solution goes well beyond Mobile Device Management (MDM) and SaaS SSO to also provide comprehensive Mobile Application Management (MAM) and "Zero Sign-on" for browser-based applications and rich mobile applications, addressing the IT and user challenges surrounding "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) adoption and the explosion of cloud-based apps. As a result, Centrify delivers true mobile enablement for enterprise cloud, mobile and BYOD environments.

With these industry-first capabilities, Centrify's latest innovation has been chosen by Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd. to provide key enabling technology for Samsung's next generation mobile enterprise solution. See accompanying press release titled "Centrify and Samsung Partner to Deliver Industry's First Comprehensive, Enterprise-ready Mobile Solution for Work and Personal Use" issued by Centrify today. The solution will be demonstrated for the first time this week at the RSA Conference 2013 in San Francisco in Centrify's booth number 233; and at the Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona in Centrify's stand 8.1A51 in App Planet - Hall 8.1 and in the Samsung stand.

According to Gartner, "Apps downloaded from public app stores for mobile devices disrupt today's IT security, application and procurement strategies. Bring your own application (BYOA) has become as important as bring your own device (BYOD) in the development of a comprehensive mobile strategy, and the trend toward BYOA has begun to affect desktop and Web applications as well. Enterprise app stores promise at least a partial solution."(1)

Rapid employee adoption of SaaS and rich mobile applications combined with BYOD programs means that IT organizations increasingly don't own the endpoint devices or back-end application resources on their networks. At the same time, end users are increasingly challenged to deal with the password sprawl associated with the on-premise and cloud-based services they need to access to perform their jobs. A unified approach to managing an employee's digital identity that spans on-premise, cloud and mobile resources provides the visibility and control required for IT organizations to achieve compliance, reduce costs and mitigate risks, while also increasing productivity and securing access for their user centric, mobile workforce. The Centrify Cloud Services platform integrates application Single Sign-on, Mobile Device Management, Mobile Application Management, mobile authentication and Mobile Container Management services in a single solution that enables organizations to easily manage mobile and cloud initiatives via an infrastructure they already own -- Active Directory.
