EdgeIQ Symphony Now Features Enterprise SSO: Strengthening Identity and Access for IoT Orchestration

The Identity Challenge in Enterprise IoT

Managing thousands of edge devices and their data across global operations is complex enough. Managing who has access to all the downstream workflows shouldn't add to that complexity.

Yet for many Connected Product Businesses enterprises, access management has become its own challenge: separate credential systems, manual user provisioning, fragmented audit trails, and the constant tension between security requirements and operational velocity.

Your IT and OT security team mandates multi-factor authentication. Your compliance team needs unified audit logs. Your IoT operations team needs fast onboarding for new engineers. Your employees just want to log in once and get to work.

Until now, achieving all of these objectives simultaneously required compromise. Not anymore.

Introducing SSO Integration for EdgeIQ Symphony

Single Sign-On (SSO) integration for EdgeIQ Symphony allows customers to connect their corporate Identity Providers and authenticate users directly through their internal systems. This SSO integration brings enterprise-grade identity and access control directly into IoT orchestration, ensuring security and compliance at scale.

This isn't just another login option. It's a fundamental shift in how enterprises secure and manage access to orchestration at scale in IoT-centric businesses.

What This Means for You:

Now users access EdgeIQ Symphony with the same corporate credentials they use for email, document systems, and every other enterprise tool. Your OT and IT teams manage access through your existing Identity Provider (Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID). All your security policies including multi-factor authentication, IP restrictions and session timeouts automatically extend to EdgeIQ Symphony. Your compliance team now sees unified audit trails in your existing SIEM.

Currently Supported Identity Providers:

• Google Workspace

• Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD)

• Okta (planned for upcoming release)

Configuration and setup are coordinated through our Customer Success Team while we also provide comprehensive integration documentation.

Why This Matters: The Jobs You're Trying to Do

For IT and OT Administrators: Eliminate Identity Silos

Every additional credential system introduces risk, complexity, and operational overhead. SSO integration eliminates EdgeIQ Symphony as a separate identity silo.

• Automatic Provisioning: New employees gain access through existing IDP group memberships—no manual EdgeIQ account creation

• Instant Deprovisioning: When employees leave, IDP deactivation immediately revokes EdgeIQ access—no lingering orphaned accounts

• Centralized Policy Enforcement: Your corporate authentication policies (MFA, conditional access, session management) apply automatically

The Result: One identity source of truth, enforced consistently across your entire enterprise tool ecosystem—including IoT orchestration.

For Security Officers: Enterprise-Grade Zero Trust

Security isn't about trusting systems. It's about verifying identities and enforcing least-privilege access continuously.

SSO integration brings EdgeIQ Symphony into your Zero Trust architecture:

• Continuous Verification: Every EdgeIQ session validated against corporate IDP in real-time

• Multi-Factor Authentication: Corporate MFA requirements enforced automatically—no separate EdgeIQ MFA configuration

• Conditional Access Policies: IP allowlisting, geofencing, device trust—all inherited from IDP

• Unified Audit Trails: All EdgeIQ authentication events flow into your existing SIEM for centralized security monitoring

The Result: Orchestration platform access that meets the same enterprise security standards as your most critical systems.

For Compliance Teams: Simplified Regulatory Readiness

SOC 2. ISO 27001. HIPAA. GDPR. Every compliance framework demands robust access controls and comprehensive audit trails.

Fragmented identity systems make compliance audits painful. SSO integration makes them straightforward:

• Single Audit Trail: All access events logged in corporate IDP, available in existing compliance reporting tools

• Automated Access Reviews: Leverage existing IDP access review workflows—no separate EdgeIQ user review process

• Documented Controls: Standards-based OIDC/OAuth 2.0 integration provides auditor-friendly evidence of secure authentication

• Rapid Evidence Production: When auditors ask "who had access to IoT systems in Q3?", answers come from centralized IDP logs

The Result: Compliance audit preparation time measured in hours, not days.

For IoT Operations Leaders: Faster Velocity, Zero Security Compromise

Your team manages edge devices across remote oil platforms, distributed manufacturing sites, and global logistics networks. Slow user onboarding shouldn't bottleneck operational response.

SSO integration eliminates authentication friction:

• Instant Access for New Engineers: New hires access EdgeIQ the same day they join—no waiting for separate credential provisioning

• Seamless Experience: One login across all tools—no context switching between credential systems

• Emergency Access Response: When device issues arise at 2 AM, engineers don't waste time resetting forgotten EdgeIQ passwords

The Result: Operational agility with enterprise security built-in, not bolted on.

How EdgeIQ Symphony SSO Works: High-Level Architecture

SSO integration leverages industry-standard OpenID Connect (OIDC) and OAuth 2.0 protocols, ensuring compatibility with leading enterprise Identity Providers.

Key Integration Points:

1. Authentication Flow: Users authenticate against corporate IDP (Google, Microsoft) using existing credentials and MFA

2. Token Exchange: EdgeIQ Symphony receives OIDC tokens from IDP, validating user identity

3. Permission Mapping: User roles and permissions mapped from IDP groups to EdgeIQ Symphony access levels

4. Session Management: Corporate session policies (timeout, renewal) enforced automatically

5. Audit Logging: All authentication events logged in both IDP and EdgeIQ for centralized visibility

What This Means in Practice:

• No separate EdgeIQ credentials to create or manage

• No duplicate MFA configuration

• No fragmented audit trails

• No manual synchronization between systems

What's Next: Okta Integration on the Roadmap

We're committed to expanding SSO support to cover the full spectrum of enterprise Identity Providers. Okta integration is planned for an upcoming release, ensuring customers with Okta-based identity infrastructure can benefit from the same seamless, secure authentication experience.

Want early access to Okta SSO or have requirements for additional IDPs? Contact your Customer Success Manager to share your needs and inform our roadmap priorities.

The Bigger Picture: Enterprise Device Management, Orchestration, and Observability Aligned with Modern Security Standards

SSO integration isn't a standalone feature—it's a critical component of EdgeIQ's vision for enterprise-grade IoT platform security.

Where We're Heading:

• Unified Identity Governance: SSO integration lays the foundation for advanced identity governance features, including automated access reviews and just-in-time provisioning

• Zero Trust Architecture: Continuous verification of user identity and device trust across the entire EdgeIQ Symphony platform

• Advanced Security Telemetry: Enriched authentication analytics and anomaly detection integrated with enterprise SIEM platforms

• Extended Compliance Support: Pre-built compliance reporting templates for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and other frameworks

SSO integration represents our commitment to security by design, not security as an afterthought.
