Why nearly 5,000 libraries prefer EZproxySimple implementationLibrary controls how user data is sharedLog files contain rich usage dataAccess to “long tail” content providersUses existing library authentication
How does EZproxy differ fromSAML-based solutions likeOpenAthens?
SAML vs EZproxySAMLPatrons’ identities may beshared with content providersPatrons’ identities are shieldedData that is instrumental in librarydecision-making is not held on thelibrary’s serversAll usage data on the proxyserver remains within thelibrary’s controlImplementation is at theinstitution levelEZproxy is treated as a partof the library’s infrastructure
How does EZproxy helplibraries monitor and preventunauthorized usage?
“95% of cybersecurity breaches aredue to human error.”Cyber SolutionsNeither EZproxy nor SAML can prevent this, due to credentials being hacked elsewhere.
EZproxy offers two lines of defense that help librariesmonitor and detect security breaches.A real-time call outto a security APISecurity data loggedon the proxy server
EZproxy hosted is seamless“If you’re looking for the right authentication solution for all your publishers, then Ihaven’t seen one better. As an institution we’ve used others, but EZproxy hostedis seamless. It’s a huge improvement for us."Aaron BurrellDigital Learning Systems Manager, University of Suffolk
