Cloud content management provider Box.net has partnered with Ping Identity®, the expert in Internet Identity Security, to bring enhanced security to the 60,000 businesses using Box to share, manage and collaborate on content.
Through this partnership, Box can now offer users secure Single Sign-On (SSO) access to its cloud content management platform, as well as centralized control over file access permissions and the ability to easily add and disable users.
With Ping Identity’s PingFederate® solution, IT administrators can give employees access to Box and other cloud-based applications with only a few clicks when setting up corporate directories. Employees who leave a company automatically lose access to Box when the IT administrator turns off access to the corporate directory.
Ping’s SaaS Partner Program allows Box to offer its customers proven SSO and expert support without making significant R&D; investments. Additionally, Ping’s standards-based approach ensures that PingFederate will function in any of Box’s customer environments. Getting customers set up is easy, with a typical SSO deployment complete in 30 minutes for existing Ping Identity customers and just under two hours for first time users.
“We’re seeing increasing traction in the enterprise, with Fortune 500 companies adopting Box to solve their information and collaboration challenges,” said Tomas Barreto, engineering manager at Box.net. “By partnering with Ping Identity, we can offer our customers a scalable, enterprise-grade process for securely managing deployments of hundreds or thousands of Box users in conjunction with other SaaS applications.” ***
