Single Sign on Authentication Is Being Replaced by Stronger Authentication Methods

Many originations are moving away from single sign on authentication [1] methods. Accessing computers using a single user ID and password increases the risk of unauthorized access. In order to protect proprietary data, organizations need a much stronger method of authentication. One solution, instead of requiring your employees to remember multiple user names and passwords, is to use two factor authentication.

You Can Use 2FA with Single Sign on Authentication Processes

You can add two factor authentication to your single sign on authentication processes. With 2FA, users supply something they own, like a digital token or digital certificate, along with something they know, which is their user ID and password. Without both of these items, employees are unable to log onto resources or their computer. However, when used together, both items increase security and strengthen user access. There are solutions available for all types of environments, even in cases where users share workstations and computers.
