Single sign-on Solution (SSO)

SSO for a great user experience

Logging in to different applications and services to work can be both frustrating for users and a security risk. With our flexible single sign-on (SSO) solutions, you can enable secure sign-on and sign-out for all your applications and services.

We help you with a secure login method of your choice for all your needs, including access to on-premises and cloud applications. You also get complete access management to ensure every user has access to what they need, all with a single login.

User-friendly

One login dramatically simplifies everyday work for your users.

Increase security

Easily keep track of logins and authorizations to increase security.

On-prem or cloud

Bring all your applications together under a single login.

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.

SSO for the modern workplace

No matter where you are in your journey to a modern digital workplace, we can help you get there faster and with full consideration of how your organization looks.

Our solutions support modern authentication protocols like SAML, OpenID Connect (OIDC), and others. For secure authentication, we can help you with any requirements you have. We help you with enterprise-class multi-factor authentication, from passwords with self-service reset to cloud-based PKI solutions for certificate-based authentication. We also offer a unique solution for deploying YubiKeys on an enterprise level, with complete lifecycle management.

You can enable single sign-on for anything from on-prem legacy applications via cloud services to specific websites on a user and department basis, with different login requirements depending on their role.

SSO at a glance

What is single sign-on?

SSO gives your organization's users one single login to all the applications, websites, and files they need for work. This significantly increases the user experience and productivity.

From a security perspective, it increases overall security, enables a zero-trust environment, allows for greater control of your environment, and decreases the number of support tickets.

Are there any risks with SSO?

Enhancing the user experience with SSO for one login to all applications might raise concerns. Will this create a single point of failure in our infrastructure, which is vulnerable to attacks?

In a way, that is true. At the same time, you will also get one single point that needs protection, instead of several. A smaller attack surface, if you will. Here, you can protect your users and infrastructure with multi-factor authentication or even go completely passwordless. Creating a sound security strategy around single sign-on will increase your organization's overall security. SSO also makes it easier to go through with your zero-trust initiatives.

Will SSO save time for my organization?

Enabling SSO for your organization will also make for a more effective IT department. It gives fewer areas to focus on and fewer support tickets for lost passwords. The latter can be eliminated by enabling self-service for password reset.

With everything in one place, you can simplify any compliance demands that your organization has while improving traceability and preparing for audits.

Requirements for single sign-on

Single sign-on is a great way to improve user experience within your organization, increase security, and lower the pressure on your IT department.

However, SSO is only one step to a modern digital workplace. For it to work, you need a robust identity and access management solution in place. That will also make compliance and traceability a breeze, no matter which setup your organization has.

To further increase security, you will also have to look at robust, user-friendly, multi-factor authentication solutions.
