According to "techworld",Symantec last day said its new cloud-based single sign-on (SSO) service called O3 is available to enterprise customers to examine.
The O3 security-as-a-service for identity management is available for corporate customers to trial as part of an "early programme", according to Dave Elliott, Symantec senior product marketing manager responsible for global cloud at Symantec.
The O3 security-as-a-service allows enterprise IT managers to manage and control their end users' access to corporate and third party cloud-based services through Symantec's O3 gateway.
Through Symantec's O3 customers can establish SSO controls for Active Directory, Google Docs and Salesforce.com, among others. Symantec also expects to integrate encryption and data loss prevention into the O3 security framework, but this isn't occurring in the initial rollout.
The initial O3 service is being provided directly by Symantec.
In other news, Symantec said it's now supporting data loss prevention on the Apple iPad through the Symantec mobile data management application. Support for Android is expected to be ready in early 2012
