Introduction to Cloud Single Sign On
In today's digital landscape, securing cloud identities is crucial for any enterprise looking to adopt cloud applications successfully. Thales CipherTrust Cloud Single Sign On (Cloud SSO) provides a robust solution that simplifies and enhances cloud identity management. Without a centralized approach to cloud identity management, organizations face challenges such as inefficient identity lifecycle management, high help desk costs due to frequent password resets, and a lack of visibility into user access for compliance purposes. Cloud SSO addresses these issues by offering users the ability to access all their cloud applications with a single identity—a username and password set. This not only streamlines the authentication process but also reduces IT management overhead.
Smart Single Sign-On with SafeNet Trusted Access
Thales CipherTrust Cloud SSO, powered by SafeNet Trusted Access, goes beyond traditional single sign-on solutions. It intelligently authenticates users based on contextual information, user roles, and policy requirements. With Smart Single Sign-On, users can log in once to access all their cloud apps, eliminating password fatigue, resets, and productivity loss. Additionally, SafeNet Trusted Access enhances security by enabling step-up authentication when needed, ensuring a secure access experience for all users.
Benefits of Cloud Single Sign On
The benefits of implementing Thales CipherTrust Cloud SSO are multi-faceted. Users benefit from a seamless access experience with a single set of credentials for all cloud applications. IT departments enjoy centralized cloud access management, reducing the number of help desk tickets related to password issues. Security officers have a comprehensive audit trail of cloud access events, enhancing visibility and compliance efforts. Thales CipherTrust Cloud SSO has been recognized with the Gold 2022 Cybersecurity Excellence Award, underscoring its exceptional passwordless solution, multi-factor authentication, and identity and access management capabilities.
