Employees love the convenience and utility of collaborative file sharing applications like Box. Sharing contracts, graphics/video files, or other corporate content using a cloud-based service empowers users to share information directly with external partners-outside traditional enterprise security controls.

While you want to encourage productivity, you also need a strategy that addresses how you’re going to control access to file sharing applications and inspect data before it leaves the enterprise.

In this webinar Intel, McAfee and Box join forces to discuss how your sensitive content can be protected throughout the collaboration life cycle—from access and upload to download and distribution.

You will learn:

• Overview of typical file sharing use cases and workflows
• Streamlining access for users
• Tying federated authentication to corporate ID stores
• Adding 2nd factor strong authentication for sensitive document security
• Blocking sensitive files from upload
• On-prem, 100% in the cloud, and hybrid SaaS access options

As a bonus, all attendees will be eligible to receive a free enterprise trial account from Box.

Forrester Cloud Jam Session DAY 1: Adaptive Strong Auth & Federated SSO – The New Power Couple

Join us this Wednesday, July 27, 2011 at 10am Pacific (replay will be available after initial broadcast) as Eve Maler, Principal analyst at Forrester and Vikas Jain, Director of Product Management for Intel Cloud Identity and Security shed light on how strong authentication should be added to deliver an enterprise class secure cloud access implementation.

Register here:

Enterprises are adopting federated SSO to cloud SaaS apps such as Google Apps and Salesforce to reduce helpdesk costs associated with password resets. But there’s another good reason to centralize authentication in the enterprise: it lets you you perform two-factor strong authentication to enable secure access to these cloud applications. Strong authentication via hardware tokens has been used to secure internal app access for some time, but recent events have shown this method to have serious downsides. As the cloud, partners, and a remote workforce drive demand for access to sensitive applications outside the traditional firewall, clearly a more convenient, adaptive, and portable strong authentication model is required. The emergence of federated internet SSO and mobile-based software tokens provide a more powerful, flexible approach.

McAfee’s new Cloud Security Platform includes Intel’s Cloud Access 360

McAfee (Intel subsidiary) announced the McAfee Cloud Security Platform that includes 2 modules from Intel – Intel Expressway Cloud Access 360 (ECA360) and Intel Expressway Service Gateway.

Follow the data

The platform helps build secure bridge to the cloud by securing all content and data traffic – including web, identity and email traffic – moving between an organization and the cloud. “By securing the data and traffic before it travels to or through the cloud, we help businesses extend their security practices and policies into the cloud.”, said Marc Olesen, senior vice president and general manager, Content and Cloud Security, McAfee.

Forrester’s Jonathan Penn noted that as data and applications are moving to the cloud, customers are faced with 2 issues • How do I secure the data? • How do I control access to the applications consuming data?

While McAfee Web Protection and McAfee Email Protection stops threats to web and email data, Intel ECA360 secures access to cloud applications and Services Gateway secures access and stops threats to cloud services.

ECA360 Benefits:

1. Get access control to cloud applications
2. Reduce risk through multi-factor authentication and automated de-provisioning
3. Increase compliance through centralized audit store logging access to all cloud applications

ECA360 Features:

1. Federated Single Sign-On (SSO) – into SaaS applications such as Salesforce, Google, and custom applications deployed on PaaS.
2. 2-factor strong authentication – provided through convenient mobile tokens or SMS and email.
3. Provisioning and De-Provisioning of users – policy based automation of this task

Deployment:

ECA360 co-exists with McAfee Web Protection (on-prem or SaaS) through the following deployment architecture.
