Millions of businesses rely on Google to protect employee logins to Google Apps services like Drive and Gmail. And we continue to make it easier to extend that ease and security to more applications with Google Identity, providing organizations a single place to manage identity and security for all of their SaaS/IT applications.
Last year, we announced support for
SAML 2.0 where Google is the identity provider. Today, we're adding pre-configured support for Microsoft Office 365, Facebook at Work, Panorama9, New Relic, Concur, Coupa, Box, Slack and
more. This adds to the hundreds of apps we already support through the
Google Apps Marketplace and OpenID Connect.
Google's identity services provide even more security on mobile when combined with Google Apps enterprise mobile management controls like password strength, lock screen requirements and app management. These can work in tandem with the increasing number of mobile security options, from hardware such as fingerprint readers, to software such as Google’s Smart Lock. Our
Google Smart Lock features are available to all Google Accounts, including those used at work, and we provide identity services and
enterprise mobility management (EMM) as part of Google Apps for Work at no additional cost.
Learn more about how you can use Google identity services for work in our
Identity whitepaper or by easily integrating the apps you use direct from the Google Apps for Work Admin console.
