Simple, not simplisticĬhoose a solution that's easy to deploy easy to manage and administer and helps your users stay productive by getting up and running quickly without sacrificing security. Think of SSO and 2FA as modules of an IAM platform that work together to authenticate and help enable federated application access to users, based on granular conditional access policies. Identity and access management (IAM) platformĪn SSO solution should ideally be integrated with an advanced 2FA solution.

Look for a solution that offers strong security is usable by all employees, including partners and contractors is available in different regions supports a variety of apps, including cloud and on-premises, web and client-based apps and supports common protocols such as Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) and OpenID Connect (OIDC). Enforcing 2FA for users accessing applications using SSO can help companies adhere to regulatory compliance requirements such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).SSO can help prevent such attacks by allowing users to access multiple applications with a single login credential or even go passwordless.

According to Verizon, more than 80% of attacks on web applications come from stolen credentials.

Implementation of SSO along with 2FA can help organizations improve security and compliance.

SSO can eliminate unproductive tasks while delivering cost savings.

Companies that have implemented SSO experience fewer help desk requests for password resets and other account issues.

Password fatigue and errors are reduced as workers traverse multiple applications. In today's hybrid workforce environment, SSO can help to improve workers' productivity-especially when they need to access applications that are either on-premises or in the cloud.There are multiple benefits from SSO, including:
