SSO for better security
Single sign-on is all about secure user authentication, but is also part of a larger concept known as federated identity management. This, in turn, is one key pillar of identity and access management.
Instead of logging in to each application separately, an identity provider (IdP) handles your user's login process. We can help you deploy an IdP in your environment, or you can use one you already have in place, like ADFS.
The IdP communicates with your directory services, like Active Directory, Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), LDAP, or any other, to verify the user and its access rights.
When the Identity provider authenticates a user, it can access all applications and services they need for work, without requiring separate logins since the IdP handles that.
The identity provider can be set up to connect to all applications and services that your organization uses. On-prem and legacy applications can be combined with cloud applications like Office 365, AWS, SAPCloud, Zoom, or any other cloud service with one single login.
This also enables remote work and BYOD initiatives without the need for a VPN connection.
When a user has finished their work, single-sign-off will securely log them out of every application in the same easy way.
