Single Sign-on

Today’s distributed work environments require users to access multiple applications throughout the course of their daily routine. In turn, driven by data security and compliance requirements, each system has its own authentication procedure, requiring users to enter a unique user ID and password. In an effort to accommodate these diverse processes, users resort to insecure practices such as writing down passwords or using the same password for multiple applications. As such, a solution is needed to help balance the security need of protecting sensitive data with the business need to provide workers with efficient access to this information.

An effective Single Sign-On solution will automate the login processes associated with secure applications as well as provide centralized control over the application process. The end result is not only reports on access activities for compliance audits, but also reduced password related help desk costs, elevated protection for sensitive applications, and increased employee satisfaction and productivity.
