It has been a few weeks since I last blogged and it's definitely time I get back into it. Since the beginning of February we (a) launched a major upgrade to Centrify Suite for UNIX/Linux/Mac, (b) entered the Windows privilege management market with DirectAuthorize for Windows; (c) are now fully participating (and doing quite well out of the gates) in the cloud identity management market with Centrify for SaaS; and (d) launched a major partnership with Samsung. And the nice thing is that this product and technology momentum is also being replicated in other areas of our business.
