Auth0 powers 'Siemens ID' for seamless access to global apps, services

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 5 -- Auth0, the identity platform for application builders has partnered with Siemens AG to develop and build ‘Siemens ID’, one centralised login for all Siemens internal and external applications.

According to a statement, Siemens ID relies on Auth0’s highly-scalable platform to provide a centralised way to store the user database and login page.

It also enables each individual division to customise the identity providers they want, manage the roles and define the workflow they need in order to optimise the user experience (a concept called multi-tenancy).

Multi-factor authentication was one of the mandatory requirements for Siemens ID to provide an extra layer of security when delivering applications to external clients or partners.

With Auth0, Siemens can offer three distinct types of second-factor authentication, which was a key differentiator when selling the implementation to internal stakeholders.

Since partnering with Auth0, Siemens has expanded its Auth0 features to include Universal Login and Anomaly Detection, enabling them to quickly integrate various identity management features into its applications to fulfill the Siemens ID promise of robust security.

As one of the world’s largest producers of energy-efficient, resource-saving technologies, Siemens turned to Auth0 to help build Siemens ID for centralising access to its global applications and services for hundreds of customers, partners and 385,000 employees globally (as of September 2019).
