Centrify Corp. (www.centrify.com) — which specializes in unified identify management across data center, cloud and mobile environments — has launched Centrify for Mac 2014.1, a core component of the Centrify User Suite.

With this new release Centrify says it’s easing the burden for Mac administrators by giving them additional cloud-based management options while also enhancing its on-premises Active Directory support for the Mac platform. In addition, Centrify has enhanced its mobile device management capabilities to include support for iOS 8.

Centrify says it’s working on integrating with Apple’s Touch ID system to ensure the right users have unfettered access to the applications and data they need.  In addition, Centrify is leveraging iOS 8 extensions to incorporate a login flow for users accessing company resources via Safari.
