Identity & Access Management
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Single sign-on gives users one strong authentication to reach the applications they need, while giving you central control over access.
Overview
What is Single Sign-On (SSO)?
SSO uses standards such as SAML, OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 to federate authentication from a central identity provider to SaaS, cloud and on-premises applications. It reduces password reuse, simplifies onboarding and offboarding, and creates a single place to enforce MFA and conditional access.
Why it matters

These are common signs that an organization would benefit from Single Sign-On (SSO).
Signs you need it
- Users juggling many passwords and frequent reset requests
- SaaS applications adopted outside central control
- Offboarding that misses application-local accounts
- Inconsistent authentication strength across applications
