Web Access Manager (WAM)

Secure every web application: on-premises or cloud: with single sign-on, MFA, and identity federation.

Overview

The gateway to secure digital access

Eviden Web Access Manager (WAM) is a web access management gateway that secures access to web applications, portals, and cloud services through single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and identity federation. It acts as the security proxy between users and applications: on-premises, in the cloud, or hybrid: enforcing access policies based on user identity, device, and context. WAM supports open standards (SAML, OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0) and integrates with leading enterprise platforms including Microsoft 365, Salesforce, SAP, and government identity services such as FranceConnect.
