Enterprise SSO: Balancing convenience with uncompromised security

Enterprise single sign-on (SSO) is a centralized authentication system that enables users to securely access approved applications and systems within an organization using a single set of credentials.

Key takeaways

  • Enterprise SSO reduces risk by centralizing authentication and enabling rapid access control across users and applications.
  • Organizations gain efficiency through reduced IT support costs and streamlined compliance management.
  • Modern protocols like SAML, OIDC, and LDAP/vLDAP support intricate enterprise environments, including hybrid cloud and legacy systems.
  • Beyond basic SSO, enterprise implementations address unique challenges of scale, compliance, and system integration.
