Enterprise Single Sign-On
Memorizing and implementing multiple passwords is no longer an efficient or secure method of authorization, nor is it cost-effective. Imagine the loss of productivity and the outright cost to the organization when a user, help desk or other IT employee does something as simple as resetting a password (bearing in mind the hold time, chatter, voicemail, etc.). Each occurrence could cost hundreds of dollars in direct costs and loss of productivity.
Suppose a sales person cannot access a CRM system. She is forced to wait 15 minutes to get a password reset, and those are 15 minutes she could use to communicate with customers. In terms of security, asking employees to remember multiple passwords can also be counter-productive. Personnel often write down their numerous passwords to avoid confusion, and in so doing offer a ‘low-hanging fruit’ to anyone seeking unauthorized access.
Another scenario results when applications “pass” access credentials to other systems. If any one of those systems gets compromised by an attacker, it puts all the other systems at risk.
Enterprise Single Sign-on (E-SSO) has typically been achieved by installing an agent on client computers. The disadvantage with this standard approach is that most solutions do not work consistently (or at all) on every computing platform such as MAC OS or Linux. More importantly, employees and contractors might have to use computers that do not have the SSO agent.
When users access all their systems with seamless access, they’re able to use their time more productively. Security is enhanced. The BiTKOO agent-less SSO technology is a unique, patent-pending solution. It offers zero software installation on clients computers, and works both on internal systems (behind a firewall) and on Internet-facing hosted systems.
Absolutely no changes need to be made to systems and real-time automatic de-provisioning is possible.
The BiTKOO agent-less SSO system allows users to be anywhere in the world and still gain SSO access to internal systems and to externally hosted web applications.
