Even tech-savvy employees can fall prey to an email phishing scam. To help organizations gauge the risk of employees entering their login credentials on a fake landing page, OneLogin launched an online test that emulates a typical phishing attack.

Here's how it works: At OneLogin Phishing Test, the test admin enters the email addresses of employees who should receive the emulated phishing scam – the email message will ask employees to confirm access to the company's Google Apps account. If employees enter their credentials on the fake landing page, they will not be aware that they has fallen prey to an emulate phishing test. They will simply be redirected to the real Google Apps page where they can enter their credentials as they normally would.

Although employees don't know that they have been phished, the Test Admin receives an email alert and is provided with a dedicated results page where they can monitor results.

Why use the test? The test does not capture or record any of the login information provided by employees who fall prey – it only records that action was taken. It's an easy and safe way to measure an organization's level of risk and helps determine what changes need to be made internally to prevent suffering the embarassement of a real security breach.

How do your employees fare? Start your emulated phishing test to find out.

Today we are making the Enterprise plan available to educational institutions at just $.50 per student per month and $3 per staff member per month. The Educational plan has the same functionality as the Enterprise plan, except students cannot use VeriSign VIP Access.

This plan also enables you to integrate OneLogin with your institution's Active Directory or LDAP server and let students and staff use their existing network login to access all their apps. And you get single sign-on for the more than 700 applications OneLogin supports today, plus we'll add any work-related application you request – for free.

Last night OneLogin had the opportunity to present at Open Angel Forum in Los Angeles alongside some other start-ups. I can say without blushing that OneLogin won hands down in the B2B category.

I can't give Jason Calacanis enough credit for putting together the Open Angel Forum. This is the perfect venue for start-ups who want to get in front of angel investors. Jason and team (Tyler Crowley & Jason Krute) deserve kudos for a well arranged event.

Also, the kobe burgers served were delicious. And the bayonet? I am sure Jason will blog about that story himself that at some point.

Companies of the 21st century don't know what a server room is. If you are setting up a new business today, you will not be buying a single server and you can get all of your critical business applications up and running in a few hours by renting them online. Even if you're an established business, you are either moving in-house applications into the cloud or you are using new applications in the cloud. 

Some of the applications you need today will only be available in the cloud. Unless you have decided that your products are not worth marketing, you will have to use multiple online marketing and communications tools. Twitter is a good example. If don't have a Twitter strategy already, you are probably doing something wrong.

Here at OneLogin we use 16 different applications and that number will only go up. Sales, marketing, customer support, billing, accounting, web hosting, engineering, telephony and project management are entirely web based. We don't know any of our passwords though, because we all log in using our OneLogin dashboard. Click-click, and we're in.

Very few of today's web applications have factored in single sign-on and OneLogin has come up with a pragmatic and non-intrusive approach that gets both users and vendors up and running in minutes. We already support more than 150 applications and that number will continue to grow.

Do yourself a favor and take OneLogin for a ride. It's free for the first five applications. Free as in beer.
