TriCipher's myOneLogin provides secure single sign-on to a portfolio of Internet applications, including Google Apps, and protects businesses by:

Creating a federated environment for enterprise cloud computing

TriCipher's myOneLogin Federation lets partnering businesses communicate securely, by extending the identity assurance measures of one company to another while offering fast-growing online communities the ability to expand at a moment's notice. Employees benefit from having a single site to access all their online applications and IT administrators benefit from having a federated management console for those applications. myOneLogin Federation is the only entirely web-based solution -- making activation immediate and giving any business the ability to safely control when and how they connect to new partners, by managing their own private clouds.
