Cloud Security service Is Offered By Novell

Novell has recently announced the availability of its cloud security service. The service is a multi-tenant identity and access management solution that is designed to provide just-in-time provisioning, authentication, authorization and support for compliance.
The application can be either hosted by a cloud service provider or via a Novell hosting partner.
A user can log on directly or via the enterprise identity system. The service first verifies the identity and, if successful, will generate an identity token in the format needed by the SaaS provider. The user is now authenticated to the SaaS service. Once inside the application, the application connectors that are provided with the service capture deep page-level user activity and provide the audit stream for compliance purposes.
With the Cloud Security Service, the company claims that enterprises will be able to quickly and easily extend their identity infrastructure to any public cloud.  Any changes that are made to their users or permissions will be immediately replicated in the cloud environment, thus ensuring a single consistent identity and security framework for the enterprise, regardless of where the computing is actually taking place.
