UPSIDER Corporation Enhances Security and Ease of Use with OneLogin Integration

UPSIDER Corporation, a prominent provider of financial services including its corporate card, UPSIDER, has announced its successful integration with OneLogin, a cloud-based identity and access management service. This enhancement allows UPSIDER users to utilize single sign-on (SSO) capabilities via SAML2.0 authentication, streamlining access while significantly boosting security.

Background of the Integration

As businesses increasingly adopt SaaS tools, workers face an overwhelming number of IDs and passwords to manage. Traditional password management strategies have become inadequate, leading to issues such as password reuse, weak password creation, and interruptions caused by needing to log into multiple services. The result is a growing concern surrounding security risks and diminished work efficiency.

Recognizing these challenges, UPSIDER previously implemented SSO solutions with Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra ID, as well as SCIM integration with Okta. By now partnering with OneLogin, UPSIDER aims to deliver a more secure, efficient, and user-friendly access environment for companies already utilizing OneLogin.

Benefits of SSO with OneLogin

The integration with OneLogin, facilitated by collaboration with Pentio, a OneLogin partner, allows UPSIDER to receive official certification as a provisioned application. With SAML2.0-supported SSO, employees can enjoy one-click access to UPSIDER without the burden of remembering multiple credentials, thus eliminating the need for excessive ID and password management.

UPSIDER is committed to continually upgrading its offerings to ensure users feel secure and find the service easy to use. Feedback from clients reflects a dedicated effort to maintain and enhance service reliability.

Overview of OneLogin and Pentio

OneLogin is a trusted cloud-based service delivering comprehensive identity and access management (IAM) solutions specifically designed for enterprises. The company provides essential security features, including single sign-on, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and user provisioning, and has become increasingly adopted by organizations around the globe.

In Japan, Pentio plays a pivotal role in supporting OneLogin’s offerings as a Platinum Partner, contributing to the successful implementation of this technology integrations.
