Is Your Active Directory Cloud-Ready? Protect Your SaaS & Your Enterprise with Active Directory Federated Services & Bitium

How Active Directory Federated Services Works for Your Organization Active Directory (AD) is the heart of your Windows network, providing a centralized location for administration, security, and other core management functions. It's battle-tested, secure, and it just plain works. Your IT staff is comfortable with it. It's paid for. Your users, groups and access controls are already managed there. Active Directory is a powerful platform, and with Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS), you can open and extend access beyond your corporate network. But is AD FS the most efficient single sign-on solution for your needs? The promise of AD FS is to allow seamless cooperation across networks between partner organizations, and single sign-on (SSO) with applications that are hosted outside of your firewall (e.g., Software as a Service (SaaS) apps). For extending single sign-on to SAML-enabled apps, AD FS can be a great utility. But an overwhelming majority of apps do not offer the SAML APIs required for AD FS integration.
