Centrify, the leader in securing hybrid enterprises through the power of identity services, and a competitor in the 2017 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, is participating in GITEX Technology Week 2017, to be held from October 8-12, 2017 in Dubai.

The company will showcase its award-winning identity services platform, meet with customers and channel partners and demonstrate how organizations can stop the breach with Centrify’s identity services at the region’s top technology exhibition.

“The threat landscape is changing rapidly with a frightening sophistication and pace of data breaches,” said Kamel Heus, Regional Sales Manager MEA, Centrify.

“Compromised credentials are a leading cause of these security breaches.”

“According to Verizon’s 2017 Data Breach Investigation Report (DBIR),  81% of hacking-related breaches leveraged either stolen and/or weak passwords, which was up from 63% in the previous year.”

“This alarming trend clearly shows that today’s security isn’t working.”

“Centrify’s mandate is to ensure that the breach stops here by providing a single platform to secure each user’s access to apps and infrastructure in today’s boundaryless hybrid enterprise.”

“GITEX, being the most important event for the region’s IT industry, is a perfect opportunity to meet face to face with security practitioners looking to manage their organization’s security based on identity.”

“Our aim is to promote our award-winning identity services platform, meet with our clients and channel partners, discuss the evolving threat landscape and new security trends, and raise awareness about the importance of securing identities to reduce the risks of data breaches,” added Mr. Heus.

Centrify is the leader in securing enterprise identities against cyber threats that target today’s hybrid IT environment of cloud, mobile and on-premises.

The company’s core competence is helping organizations manage security based on Identity.

Centrify redefines security from a legacy static perimeter-based approach to protecting millions of scattered connections in a boundaryless hybrid enterprise.

Data breaches are happening at an alarming rate.

Today’s security is not enough.

Centrify is implementing a massive rethink in security by delivering a complete platform to stop breaches through the trifecta of Identity Services for applications, endpoints and infrastructure—both on-premises and in the cloud.

By taking a unique approach to controlling both end user and privileged access in the hybrid enterprise, one that simplifies the implementation of identity best practices and strengthens an organization’s risk posture, Centrify is working to ensure the next dimension in security stops breaches.

Centrify Identity Services ensure identities are protected through an integrated solution across applications, devices, and infrastructure.

Centrify helps customers reduce IT overhead and improve compliance by providing users with a consistent log in experience and eliminating identity siloes.

The Centrify Identity Services Platform is a common set of foundational shared services.

App Services, Endpoint Services and Infrastructure Services are built upon the Centrify Identity Services Platform.

Below is an overview of the key capabilities:

Application Services

• With Centrify Identity Services, you can deploy Single Sign-On to thousands of preconfigured web and mobile applications, and add new applications, in a matter of seconds.
• Centrify Identity Services also strengthens security for cloud and on-premises applications with adaptive MFA that enables you to choose your authentication methods and elevate privilege based on real-time user risk scoring from the Analytics Services.
• Integrated Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) provides IT administrators with a single portal to manage users and mobile devices, and promotes context-aware access to all of your enterprise apps and infrastructure.

Endpoint Services 

• Centrify Identity Services also help you manage access from PCs and MACs.
• Integrated Mac and mobile device management allows your enterprise to design and deliver a consistent and secure BYOD policy.
• Centrify Identity Services enforces Robust Smart Card Support for PC and Mac and derived credential support for mobile devices enabling a strong authentication environment.

Infrastructure Services 

• Centrify Identity Services helps your organization consolidate identity, authentication, and access management across over 450 platforms—including Linux and UNIX.
• Privilege elevation security, based on roles and responsibilities, is swift and seamless.
• Secure remote access enables you to secure all administrative access, regardless of location, with context-aware MFA.
• Record privileged sessions to audit exactly who did what, when and on which system.

Analytics Services 

• Centrify Identity Services uses machine learning to assess risk based on constantly evolving user behavior patterns, then assigns a risk score, and enforces an appropriate decision real-time — determining whether the user’s access is granted, requires step-up authentication, or is blocked entirely.
• Potentially compromised accounts are flagged and elevated to IT’s attention — speeding analysis and greatly minimizing the effort required to assess risk across today’s hybrid IT environment.

Centrify is proud to help organizations across a variety of industries to secure their identities in the region.

As the only industry-recognized leader in both Privileged Identity Management and Identity-as-a-Service, Centrify provides a single platform to secure every user’s access to apps and infrastructure in today’s boundaryless hybrid enterprise through the power of identity services.

The company will use GITEX as a platform to demonstrate how its world-class identity and access management solutions help organizations secure their identities and critical data.

“We plan to increase the awareness of our brand and products through presentations and product demonstrations at GITEX,” concluded Mr. Heus.

“Our experts will be available to meet customers and partners and share how Centrify has helped many prestigious organizations globally as well as in the region to modernize their approach to business, adopt new models and take fascinating initiatives with the peace of mind that their identities and critical data are secure.”

Centrify will be exhibiting at Stand D1-1, Hall 1 at GITEX Technology Week 2017.

Senior executives and security experts from the company will be available at the stand to speak with customers and partners and share their global success stories with them.
