Symantec acquiring PasswordBank for single sign-on services
The day of tech startup acquisitions around the world continues on the security front this afternoon.
Symantec is reportedly acquiring Spanish startup PasswordBank to add more authentication services, according to The Next Web.
Targeted toward enterprise customers, PasswordBank develops an Identity-as-a-Service platform that includes single sign-on (SSO) services, delivered both via the cloud and on-premise. The platform is designed to support Mac OS X, Linux and Windows desktops and servers. PasswordBank also has a deal with Oracle as the designated partner for delivering secure access to applications in heterogeneous environments by extending SSO to non-Windows desktops.
