Okta SSO
Access All Your Cloud Apps with a Single Login
With cloud applications proliferating by the dozens in corporate IT environments, a Single Sign-On (SSO)solution is now essential for any growing enterprise. When employees log into their computer, they’ll be authenticated to access all applications they have permission to use.
Compromise of your employees’ login credentials is one of your greatest security risks. It is by far the hacker’s most common point of entry into company networks. Managing individual logins and passwords to numerous systems is almost certain to lead to compromises, given the rise of sophisticated schemes to steal them. SSO solves this problem while enabling efficient onboarding, termination and compliance initiatives.
Key Benefits
- Protect employee credentials from being compromised
- Eliminate headache of managing many logins
- Streamline onboarding and termination processes
- Provides an audit trail of system permissions
Integrating all user names and passwords into a single, secure system allows employees to access authorized applications with a single login, protected by multi-factor authentication. SSO facilitates onboarding by automatically giving new users all the appropriate permissions based on their roles when they are hired. Terminating a user in SOO removes their access to all systems at once. It also provides a handy audit trail of access rights. Okta and other leading SSO solutions have hundreds of secure, pre-built integrations with other applications to help speed your implementation. We highly recommend taking this step as early as possible. Implementation and change management just gets harder as your headcount and number of applications grow.
Maintenance is Needed
Once you have this valuable solution in place, ongoing management expertise is needed. A continuing stream of new applications will need integration. Role-based access rights will evolve in the connected applications as well as other setup parameters. You may need help from experienced IT resources from time to time.
