SSO Definitions
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication scheme that allows a user to log in with a single set of credentials to any of several independent software systems.
SSO relies on trust relationships between the IdP and Service Providers. Modern SSO is moving toward Phishing-Resistant MFA and Continuous Access Evaluation (CAE).
ObserveID enhances SSO security with Behavioral Analytics. We monitor SSO sessions in real-time to detect anomalies and trigger automated responses instantly.
Password Fatigue
Password Fatigue
The phenomenon where users become overwhelmed by remembering multiple complex passwords, often leading to poor security habits like reusing passwords.
SAML Standard
SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language)
An XML-based standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, specifically between an identity provider and a service provider.
OIDC Protocol
OpenID Connect (OIDC)
An identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol that allows clients to verify the identity of the end-user based on the authentication performed by an authorization server.
