The Challenges of Extending Access to SaaS Applications for External Partners, Vendors and Clients
Now more than ever, organizations are looking beyond their internal workforce and prioritizing their business relationships to achieve growth and capitalize on market share. These business relationships can be partners to collaborate with on joint ventures, third-party vendors to outsource work, suppliers to fulfill orders or distributors to deliver goods along the supply chain.
While it may be essential to your company’s operations to work with users outside your organization’s boundaries, this also exposes your business to risks. These risks include provisioning excessive permissions, extending access to customer data or incorrectly offboarding users. In today’s digitally connected world, you must be prepared to securely share access to your company applications and services while maintaining control over your corporate data or face the risk of security breaches.

Here’s how it works:
1. Sign up and authenticate: Onboard your external users with strong authentication to your web and mobile apps within minutes.
