About: Features & Benefits
ProtectNetwork is a Cloud based E-Credential Management service.
ProtectNetwork is a cost effective way to leverage the power of secure single sign-on cloud service without investing millions of dollars in deploying local IdM infrastructure and help desk operations.
Project (or Group or Association) managers and Website administrators leverage our single sign-on enabled e-credentials, authentication and access management services for their users in an outsourced manner.
Benefits include lower cost of on-boarding users for authentication and access as well as faster time to on-board partner sites for single sign-on access.
