In certain sectors, such as healthcare, finance or education, job functions require employees to access multiple systems and spaces within the same business day. Often, their workstations are also exposed to public environments, creating additional risk. It can be an inefficient hassle to resubmit the same password over and over throughout the day.

A more convenient, secure, and automated solution is single sign-on (SSO) authentication. SSO allows employees to authenticate their identity at the beginning of a work period, granting secure access to the right software, files and locations throughout the business day.

SSO paves the way for new levels of productivity. Users log in once via an RFID card or smartphone to authenticate themselves for digital or logical access. Those credentials then conveniently move with them throughout the rest of their workday.
