Some organizations will attempt to simplify log on processes by using single sign on authentication. This process allows users to only have to remember a single user ID and password, rather than multiple IDs and passwords. However, one issue with this method is the lowered amount of security in protecting your corporate resources. Even when using this authentication method, there are things you can do to improve your security.
You Can Convert from Single Sign on to Two Factor Authentication
You can convert your single sign on authentication processes to two factor authentication. The only thing you have to do is create digital certificates, which you configure for each of your users. Within the certificate is encrypted data which knows what types of resources and applications the user is allowed to access. Without this certificate, users are prevented from gaining access to areas and resources which are not approved.
