Enterprise Single Sign-on
Enterprise single sign on solutions allow an organization to centralise authentication and minimise the number of credentials a user needs to use and remember.
Forcing users to maintain many credentials usually results in bad password practices such as using the same weak password on many systems and using easily guessable passwords. Alternatively, if good password practices are employed on each system, it is more likely that users will forget passwords and require resets, which increases the amount of internal administrative overhead.
An enterprise single sign on solution can deliver a single place of authentication that makes password management and security easy to manage. A central authentication system makes it easy to employ higher grades of security (e.g. Strong or Two Factor Authentication) in circumstances that warrant it – for example, accessing services remotely.

The SecureAuth Identity Enforcement Platform (IEP) provides a single source of authentication for an enterprise. IEP can leverage an existing directory service (e.g. Microsoft Active Directory) for username / password based authentication and complement it with token-less Two-Factor Strong Authentication. SecureAuth IEP can integrate with your VPN and many of your internal and cloud based web applications.
Once authenticated, a user can seamlessly access both internal and external web services without needing to re-authenticate. IEP supports many cloud services including Google, Salesforce, ADP, SuccessFactors and any cloud service provider supporting SAML.
