Understanding Single Sign-On (SSO)
Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication process that allows users to access multiple applications or systems with one set of login credentials. SSO streamlines access by enabling a single sign-in experience, which improves convenience for users while reducing the need to remember multiple passwords. In TPRM and cybersecurity, SSO helps organizations manage vendor access more efficiently by allowing centralized control of user authentication across different systems and applications.
Implementing SSO improves security by reducing password fatigue, which can lead to weak password practices, and by offering centralized user management for quick access modifications. SSO is particularly useful when working with third-party vendors, as it simplifies access control, reduces administrative overhead, and ensures that user activity across systems can be tracked and managed more effectively.
