Single sign-on allows users to connect to all of their web applications by using only one set of credentials. End users only have to remember a single unique password instead of different passwords for each app. This lowers the risk of users using the same password for each app. Single sign-on makes it easier for the IT team to monitor and control user credentials. Using good SSO practices can reduce the likelihood of password related attacks. Single sign-on can be expensive to initially set up. Having SSO on a shared device can cause issues.
The industry I chose is the healthcare industry. I believe that SSO with multifactor authentication would be the best sign on architecture for this type of industry. With healthcare, a second factor of authorization can help better protect the PHI of their patients. In the event that a password was stolen, the malicious user can’t gain access without the second form of authorization. Once the end user confirms who they are, SSO makes sure that they should have access to the application they are trying to use.
