What is V-OS Cloud?

V-OS Cloud is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution basing on V-OS, the virtual secure element of V-Key, a global leader in software-based digital security.

The cloud platform provides operational efficiency in the deployment of Trusted Identity services. It also optimizes the cost of implementation and maintenance and focuses on ensuring usability on any IOS or Android device.

V-OS Cloud is always updated with the latest version of every solution available in V-Key’s Software Suite with no additional cost for setup, operation, and maintenance of both mobile apps and servers.

V-OS Cloud is designed with user experience in mind and offers an interactive and guided setup, easy onboarding process, and more to help organizations of any size to implement the services with peace of mind.

With PaaS options, V-OS Cloud provides the high-available and secured V-OS App Protection, V-OS PKI Token, and V-OS eKYC solutions for you to integrate into your organization’s environments quickly. To get onboard these options, contact us at sales@v-key.com to subscribe to the Enterprise plan. More details on the Enterprise plan, see V-OS Cloud Portal.

With SaaS options, V-OS Cloud provides 2FA Services, authenticate through the V-Key app, to secure access to VPN or cloud applications of organization with existing directory credentials (like Microsoft Active Directory or OpenLDAP accounts).

V-OS Cloud 2FA Service for VPN/RADIUS lets you securely access your organization’s network by authenticating through the existing directory (like Microsoft Active Directory or OpenLDAP accounts) using the RADIUS protocol, such as SonicWall SRA.

V-OS Cloud 2FA Service for O365/SAML2.0 secures access to cloud applications with your existing directory credentials (like Microsoft Active Directory or OpenLDAP accounts) using the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 authentication standard. SAML delegates authentication from a Microsoft Office 365 server to V-OS Cloud Identity Management and is used for single sign-on (SSO) solutions.

V-OS Cloud provides many generic connectors, such as SAML connector, RADIUS connector, and directory connector so that your organization can enable 2FA service to any enterprise cloud applications or any SAML2.0 service providers, RADIUS servers, or any directory service.

2FA services are available through V-OS Cloud Identity Management (V-OS Cloud IDM) and V-Key app. Protected VPN or cloud applications redirect your users to the V-OS Cloud IDM server on V-OS Cloud. V-OS Cloud IDM acts as a RADIUS proxy or a SAML identity provider (IdP), authenticating your users using your existing primary authentication source for credential verification, and then prompting for 2nd factor authentication with V-Key app before permitting access to the SAML application or VPN network.

V-Key app is bulit-in authenticator that benefits from V-OS powers (the first world’s virtual secure element) and be customizable UI according to your organisation’s brand specifictly. It is avaialble on both Android and iOS platforms and free of charge. You can click on the applicable link or scan the QR code to start the installation:
