SSO access solutions simplify password management and increase security

A Single Sign On (SSO) access solution can dramatically simplify enterprise identity management security. Passwords are meant to ward off a security breach through secure authentication of users. But too often users have so many passwords to remember that they have to write them down next to their workstation to remember them, or share passwords with other users for more convenient access, reducing the effectiveness of password authentication. A single sign on security solution can solve these problems by providing SSO access - allowing users to gain access to all authorized applications after signing in just once to the network. But often SSO access technology is neither affordable nor easily managed. An application can be notoriously difficult to enroll for SSO. For organizations seeking an easy-to-use, non-intrusive and easy to manage SSO access solution, Imprivata has the answer.
