SIOS Technology Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Nobuo Kita; hereinafter, SIOS Technology) will revamp the product lineup of its authentication and ID management cloud service, "Gluegent Gate," and begin offering the new edition "Gluegent Gate Professional" from May 1, 2026. Along with this, the existing "Gluegent Gate Business" will be renamed "Gluegent Gate Connects."
[Background]
In recent years, corporate business systems have rapidly shifted towards multi-cloud environments centered on SaaS, while incidents stemming from phishing and credential theft have become frequent. Consequently, multi-factor authentication (MFA) and single sign-on (SSO) have become de facto mandatory requirements, as demanded by various industry guidelines such as the "Security Guidelines and Commentary for Computer Systems of Financial Institutions" and the "Guidelines for Secure Management of Medical Information Systems, Version 6.0," as well as by trading partners.
Under these circumstances, companies are required to "manage all applications and SaaS used for business operations with a unified and robust authentication process." SIOS Technology has been providing "Gluegent Gate" in a wide range of fields including domestic corporations, medical institutions, and education. To provide the optimal authentication infrastructure tailored to the needs of user companies, the company has redefined its edition structure. We will seamlessly support user companies in strengthening their security and advancing their ID operations, from access control for individual SaaS to company-wide SSO for authentication management, and further to future integrated ID management (IGA: Identity Governance and Administration).
[Overview of Product Lineup Refresh]
● "Gluegent Gate Business" renamed to "Gluegent Gate Connects"
Functions, prices, and contract terms remain unchanged, and existing user companies can continue to use the service as is.
● Establishment of new edition "Gluegent Gate Professional"
Unlimited SSO integration is possible per user. It comprehensively connects applications and SaaS used throughout the company, providing a secure and efficient authentication infrastructure.
● Upgrade Support
Smooth upgrade support from "Gluegent Gate Connects" to "Gluegent Gate Professional" will be provided for existing user companies.
[Features of the new edition "Gluegent Gate Professional"]
● Unlimited SSO Integration
Per user, SAML (SP/IdP), OpenID Connect, delegated authentication, and federation (SAML IdP) can be used with an unlimited number of integrations.
● "Device Authentication WEB" as Standard
"Device Authentication WEB," which supports client certificate authentication and application authentication (offered as an option in "Gluegent Gate Connects"), will be standard.
*Preparation and distribution of client certificates are separately required.
● Clear License Model
Unlike "Gluegent Gate Connects," which charges per service, it uses a user-based license model that does not depend on the number of services. The scope of connections can be expanded without additional costs even when the number of SaaS services used increases.
● Supports future expansion of integrated ID management (IGA) functions (optional)
Based on a common platform designed for expansion, it can seamlessly evolve into lifecycle management and ID application workflows.
[Provided Editions and Prices (List Price, Excluding Tax)]
* Prices are list prices, excluding tax. Separate estimates will be provided depending on the scale of introduction and contract type.
* Industry-specific and higher editions such as Gluegent Gate Medical/Education/Enterprise/Unlimited will continue to be offered as before.
[Availability Date and Transition]
● New "Gluegent Gate Professional"
Available from May 1, 2026.
● Name change from "Gluegent Gate Business" to "Gluegent Gate Connects"
Product names on contracts, invoices, etc., will be sequentially changed from May 1, 2026. There are no changes to functions, prices, or contract terms.
*User companies with a "Gluegent Gate Connects (formerly Business)" contract will be contacted by a sales representative or sales partner regarding "Gluegent Gate Professional."
