A global enterprise wants to reduce authentication friction for employees who currently manage multiple sets of login credentials. Which mechanism would best streamline access to various corporate applications while maintaining security?
Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication scheme that allows a user to log in with a single set of credentials to gain access to multiple applications. The primary benefit of SSO is that it simplifies the user experience by reducing the number of credentials a user must remember while also potentially improving security through centralized authentication management. When a user authenticates once to an SSO system, they receive an authentication token or ticket that is then used to access other authorized systems without requiring re-authentication, until that token expires or the session is terminated.
