SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitium, a cloud based identity platform provider, announced today the availability of Bitium Application Services Endpoint (BASE) on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace in advance of AWS re:Invent 2016.
BASE, an authentication and authorization platform that allows organizations to quickly and easily create scalable single sign-on (SSO) for their business-to-business (B2B) apps, provides AWS customers with an authentication and authorization-as-a-service offering on AWS Marketplace. By relying on BASE to solve authentication and authorization, app providers and organizations can avoid costly distractions.
"CTOs of organizations and application providers want to invest their energy into delivering the core functionality and value-add features that differentiate their app or service," said Erik Gustavson, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of Bitium. "We are excited to be a part of the AWS Marketplace, offering an efficient and sophisticated authentication option – BASE – to the AWS community."
In today's environment in order to sell to security-minded enterprises, software-as-a-service companies need their products to have secure authentication and authorization -- not an easy feat as integrations can be complex and difficult to build. With BASE, organizations can support industry standard authentication methods such as Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), JSON Web Token (JWT) and OpenID Connect, while increasing speed to market and adoption. The plug-and-play set-up of BASE saves development time and effort while providing flexibility.
"BASE delivers added security that CTOs value for their products to quickly address the enterprise market's needs," said Barry Russell, GM, Global Business Development, AWS Marketplace and Catalog Services, Amazon Web Services, Inc. "Our customers enjoy easy-to-use SaaS solutions like BASE, which is now available for purchase on AWS Marketplace. This new product listing demonstrates a focus on offering customers low-friction authentication and authorization tools with simplified deployment and billing."
