Kaseya today announced the acquisition of Scorpion Software, a leading security and authentication provider offering integrated two factor authentication, single sign on and password management solutions. The addition of Scorpion Software’s AuthAnvil products to Kaseya’s leading suite of solutions creates a cloud-based IT management and security offering that is unparalleled in the industry.
Organizations today are faced with an ever-increasing set of challenges related to secure information access. They must provide their employees secure and easy access to a growing number of applications from any device anywhere, and they need to efficiently manage the complexities of providing this. At the same time, credentials are increasingly being stolen or compromised in today’s always-on mobile world. Unauthorized access to sensitive data can cause financial losses, reputation damage, and even expose companies to regulatory penalties for privacy violations. Thus, offering access with the highest levels of security is paramount, while making it easy for organizations and employees to manage their growing set of access credentials is critical to drive efficiencies and compliance with security policies.
