OVHcloud to roll out identity and access management for complete control of cloud access

Reston – October 19, 2023 – OVHcloud US, a global cloud leader, today announces its latest security defining feature with advanced Identity and Access Management (IAM). IAM is set to be available for all customers at no extra cost on October 25th.

OVHcloud Identity and Access Management is part of the Group’s ongoing product roadmap and commitment to continuous innovation. Accessible through a centralized user interface directly within the OVHcloud control panel, as well as from the OVHcloud API, the feature allows granular control of an organization’s security privileges and provides total control over who can access digital resources.

Available for Public Cloud and Hosted Private Cloud, IAM helps to improve security by thwarting malicious attacks and supports enhanced compliance and productivity for IT teams by delivering a higher level of performance for users’ login.

With Identity Federation, IAM allows customers to connect to the corporate directory of their choice via SSO. With granular policy management that spans through the complete OVHcloud product portfolio, it’s easier than ever to create user groups, define the minimum set of authorizations granted by default, and leverage OAuth2 tokens within IAM policies or authentication through OVHcloud API.

OVHcloud Terraform provider also now includes IAM actions so IT teams can fully automate their OVHcloud deployments. Capabilities such as audits and logs help organizations keep tabs on access to help comply with regulations and standards related to data privacy and security.

“We are committed to our customers and continue to enrich the features of our Identity and Access Management solution: after having enabled federation and identity management for our IaaS solutions, we’re proud to expand fine-grained policy management to our trusted cloud services: this is a key enabler for our customers, offering some of the most advanced features one can think of,” said Thierry Souche, Chief Technology Officer OVHcloud.
