Radiant Logic Introduces First Federated Identity Service RadiantOne VDS 6

Offering single sign-on (SSO) for cloud and federation deployment is vital. At the same time, the BYOD (bring your own device) trend is increasingly gaining importance. In this scenario, Radiant Logic has unveiled RadiantOne VDS 6, the first federated identity service.

RadiantOne VDS 6 has the ability to develop a virtual identity hub for SSO, cloud and federation initiatives. The newly launched service traits a dynamic set of tools, including identity remapping, aggregation, correlation and automated synchronization code to link the identity sources to the global hub.

A sophisticated virtualization platform RadiantOne VDS 6 is purpose-built to address the demands of SSO and authorization for the cloud and federations in high-volume, heterogeneous environments. VDS 6 allows authentication and authorization for a varied user base, which includes internal, external and mobile users across multiple security protocols, identity stores and usage patterns.

“The current patchwork of internal identity silos is a roadblock for medium and large enterprises,” said Michel Prompt, CEO at Radiant Logic. “Federation-based protocols like SAML, OpenId and OAuth establish a secure pipeline to the enterprise, but without the ability to logically gather identities into one place and address the complexity of existing internal authentication systems, you can’t achieve SSO.”

“When the enterprise is the ultimate identity provider, going the last mile into identity silos is a major challenge,” he added. “The truth is that the other side of a federation or cloud application deployment is a federated identity. Virtualization lets you leverage the identity investments you’ve already made, while building the identity hub you need.”

Radiant Logic is offering RadiantOne VDS 6 in two versions: VDS Standard Edition and VDS Context Edition. The VDS Standard Edition advances virtual directory technology from a proxy-driven routing and remapping engine to a model-driven virtualization solution. VDS Context Edition brings SQL access, allows contextual views for attribute-driven authorization and personalization, and comes with real-time cache refresh for synchronization.

Radiant Logic was recently in the news for being named a "Cool Vendor" in the Cool Vendors in Security: Identity and Access Management report by Gartner. The RadiantOne platform presents identity-related context to end-users from across an enterprise's disparate identity and structured data sources.
