A More Secure Front Door: Enterprise Single Sign-on and Strong Authentication

Overview In recent years, enterprise single sign-on (ESSO) has emerged as an easy, smart, and affordable way for organizations of all types and sizes to strengthen IT security while supporting user productivity. With the advent of more stringent government regulations, organizations are seeking ways to further strengthen IT security by incorporating stronger passwords and in many cases an additional form of authentication, such as a security card or token or even finger biometrics.

But which authentication option is right for your organization? And how easily can it be integrated with your ESSO solution? These are just two of the many questions to consider as you evaluate strong authentication choices. This white paper explores these questions and addresses how organizations can achieve strong authentication with ESSO—easily and affordably—to increase their security levels dramatically without inconveniencing IT staff or end users.
