BiTKOO, a provider of XACML and fine-grained authorisation solutions, has announced the release of its latest version of Keystone for SharePoint, a product that uses the claims capabilities in SharePoint 2010 to address enterprise security.

The Keystone STS (Security Token Service) allows for the consumption of authentication from any authentication source and not just Active Directory.

Keystone for SharePoint 2010 provides fine-grained access control to any artifact in SharePoint by utilizing the Keystone XACML 3.0 engine.
It provides the ability to control access to any artifact based on artifact metadata, and enforces Segregation of Duty and Information Barrier rules.

Organizations can host SharePoint on premises or in the cloud without the need to replicate their authentication sources to the cloud and without the need to change their authentication mechanism.

“As a long-time supporter of Microsoft SharePoint, BiTKOO continues with our dedication to maximizing security for SharePoint,” said Doron Grinstein, CEO of BiTKOO.

“We are confident that Keystone for SharePoint 2010 will provide our customers with a strong solution for securing their most sensitive resources hosted by SharePoint 2010 at the lowest total cost of ownership available.”
