Canon ITS Expands Cloud-Based Integrated ID Management Service 'ID Entrance' with ID Provisioning Integration for 'Cato SASE Platform'

Canon IT Solutions Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Hiroshi Suyama; hereinafter 'Canon ITS'), a member of the Canon Marketing Japan Group, announces the expansion of the ID provisioning functionality—an optional feature of its cloud-based integrated ID management service 'ID Entrance (ID Entrance)'—to include support for the 'Cato SASE Platform.' The new functionality will be available starting Thursday, June 18, 2026.

Background

In recent years, the widespread adoption of cloud services and remote work has significantly transformed corporate IT environments, accelerating the implementation of SASE (Secure Access Service Edge), which integrates networking and security. As a result, access management centered on user IDs has become increasingly critical. However, in SASE environments, user account management often requires manual operations across different systems, leading to fragmented management and operational complexity. Additional challenges include risks of configuration errors and missed actions due to manual processes, workload associated with updating ID information, and difficulties in tracking operation logs and permission statuses for audit compliance. Furthermore, due to differences in specifications and operational requirements between systems, fully automated integration between ID management and SASE platforms is often difficult, necessitating a controlled mechanism that enables timely synchronization aligned with administrator intent.

Benefits of This Enhancement

The ID provisioning functionality in 'ID Entrance' reduces operational burdens across multiple systems by automatically creating and synchronizing user accounts in connected cloud services based on registered account information. By adding the 'Cato SASE Platform' as a new integration target, organizations can now centrally manage SASE environment accounts through 'ID Entrance,' standardizing operational procedures and eliminating dependency on individual staff members. In addition, this enhancement supports the establishment of a robust identity management foundation for zero-trust security by preventing configuration errors, strengthening audit readiness, and enabling flexible yet reliable ID synchronization triggered by administrator actions.

Outlook

To meet the growing number of cloud services, 'ID Entrance' will continue to expand its list of supported platforms. Canon ITS will also focus on reducing the workload of identity management operations while further enhancing security. Under its 'SOLTAGE' brand, which covers all areas of IT infrastructure, Canon ITS will continue to expand its service portfolio, particularly in cloud security, and further strengthen its one-stop support system for customers facing challenges in cybersecurity and data leakage prevention.

About 'ID Provisioning'

ID Provisioning reduces the operational burden on administrators managing user accounts.
