F5 BIG-IP iSeries Access Policy Manager i5800

Applications are the gateways to your critical and sensitive data. And, today, your apps can be hosted anywhere - on premises, co-located, or in a public or private cloud. Secure access to your applications continues to be a necessity. But ensuring that your users have secure, authenticated access anytime, anywhere, to only the applications that they are authorized to access is becoming difficult to maintain. There are different methods of application access with which to deal. There are various means of ensuring authorized user identity, as well as different methods of single signon (SSO) and federation, all in an attempt to simplify the user access experience.

With digital transformation touching every part of today's enterprise, cloud and SaaS applications are becoming the new enterprise application standard. Many organizations, however, find that they are unable to migrate all of their applications off premises. In addition, many enterprises are unable or unwilling to migrate all of their apps to the cloud at the same time. These situations result in applications being hosted in a variety of locations, with differing and many times disparate authentication and authorization methods, which can't work seamlessly across your existing SSO or identity federation means, including Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS).
