Single Sign-On (SSO)

Unlock User Productivity with a Single Login

Single sign-on (SSO) is an advanced access management solution designed to streamline the authentication process for users across various applications. By enabling users to log in with a single set of credentials, SSO removes the need for multiple, unique login sessions for every application to which a user has access. This method enhances user experience, improves security, and simplifies access management for IT admins.

Manage Users and Applications at Once

Single sign-on (SSO) simplifies access to multiple systems using federated identities to share identification information across platforms. It involves three main components: the service provider, identity provider, and token provider. This flow provides seamless user access to all associated applications without re-authentication.

Provide Integrated Secure Access

Seamless access to workforce applications such as Zoom, Salesforce, or Tableau leads to higher multi-factor authentication (MFA) adoption. It reduces the risks associated with password fatigue and password reuse. This comprehensive approach to IT management is crucial for creating a secure, productive, and adaptable work environment in today's digital era.

 

Solve Key Business Problems and Reduce Costs with SSO

  • Fewer credentials: 74% of data breaches involve human error, including using/losing credentials.
  • Passwords impact productivity: An average employee manages 27 passwords.
  • Reuse rates on the rise: 61% of employees report the habit of reusing the same password.

Enforce Zero Trust with Seamless Authentication

Configuring MFA for single sign-on (SSO) is essential for verifying user requests before granting access, which enables zero trust enforcement. AuthPoint enables adaptive access control through risk-based policies, allowing access decisions to be based on real-time contextual information such as the user's location, device, or network security posture.

Optimize Workforce Experience

Invest in employee productivity and secure access management. Integrating SSO reduces helpdesk requests for password resets and account lockouts, which are common issues when managing multiple credentials. This cuts operational costs and gives IT staff more time to focus on more strategic tasks rather than routine administrative issues.
