SecurAct is a silicon-valley based company with a unique and innovative approach to addressing new complex problems caused by de-perimeterization of security - across Cloud / SaaS and other business critical applications.

Cloud / SaaS applications are rapidly moving beyond just CRM onto numerous other functions such as Human Resources, Accounting, Payroll, Marketing, Support, Business Intelligence and Analytics. But the way organizations are required to manage user accounts and privileges across these disparate business critical applications is still a tedious and painful process.

SecurAct has developed an Intelligent Innovative Infrastructure (i3) solution that makes it possible to manage distributed user accounts and privileges, and provide data integration across multiple Cloud / SaaS applications.

“Software-as-a-service (SaaS) adoption by small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) increased by 58% to 15% from 2006 to 2007 as the market's early adopters flocked to the SaaS siren song of lower costs, quick deployment times, and mitigating IT staff constraints. But during that same period, non-users' skepticism widened, with increasing concerns about total cost of ownership (TCO), integration, security, and application performance. To ensure that SMB SaaS adoption glides smoothly into the early majority phase, marketers will need to address skeptics' concerns head-on. Marketers will need to clearly demonstrate the TCO advantages of SaaS, ensure that their products have well-defined data integration and conversion procedures, show price transparency, and have well-articulated security and data protection stories.”
