Single Sign-On (SSO)
What Is Single Sign-On (SSO)?
Single sign-on (SSO) is a secure and convenient authentication method that enables users to log into one or more systems with one set of credentials. This is especially useful for frontline workers who typically use several devices and applications in the field.
Rather than juggling multiple usernames and passwords, these employees can sign on once with one username and one password to access multiple systems. The method saves frontline teams considerable time.
Single sign-on (SSO) is often coupled with other measures, such as role-based permissions and multi-factor authentication, to increase the security of logins and prevent unauthorized access to particular applications. Combined, these methods create an effective component of identity and access management efforts for frontline organizations.
