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.
With so many security threats looming in the shadows these days, single sign-on (SSO) can also be combined with a multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution to allow for verification of user identity prior to logging in to an application or network.
Organizations that pair single sign-on with multi-factor authentication strike an extremely secure balance.
