As IT services become cloud-based, you might be thinking “my information is now accessible from anywhere in the world”. Although this might be convenient for you, it is also convenient for cybercriminals. To help mitigate this issue, single sign on (SSO) can be used in conjunction with an Identity Provider. We use Microsoft 365 SSO authentication as an Identity Provider. It enables us to limit and manage the locations and devices where staff can access Company resources. It greatly decreases avenues for malicious attacks.
SSO is also an authentication process that enables staff to access multiple applications or services with just one set of login credentials (such as username and password). Instead of requiring you to remember and enter separate credentials for each web application, SSO allows you to authenticate once and then access all authorised resources without needing to log in again for each individual service.
Most major Software as a Service (SaaS) providers can be integrated into the Microsoft Identity Provider system. We can assist you to integrate your Microsoft login credentials for SSO with your cloud-based providers if they support this system. Access Policies for your Organisation’s SSO can be created to define a secure authentication environment.
Please reach out for more about SSO and if it can be enabled for your systems. You can also take advantage of a complimentary discovery of your IT systems, valued at $500. Register here: https://itprotechnow.com.au/forms/complimentary-discovery/
