Single Sign-On

A new report finds that while 73 percent of employees are encouraged to use AI 33 percent don’t always follow AI policies.

The study from 1Password, based on data from 5,200 desk-based knowledge workers across the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, France, and Singapore, also finds 52 percent of employees have downloaded apps without IT approval.

Enterprises could be exposing themselves to by increasingly relying on single sign-on (SSO) according to a new report from Doyensec, in collaboration with Teleport.

Although sold by identity providers (IdPs) for their convenience and security, SSO solutions can amplify the impact of breaches. The research shows these impacts can be significantly mitigated once additional layers of security are placed between the IdP and the linked applications and services.

Password service 1Password is launching a new service that will allow enterprise customers to unlock their 1Password accounts using third-party identity services.

Unlock with Single Sign-On (SSO) automatically provisions and deprovisions employees, with streamlined deployment through the bridge connection for the 1Password SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management).

A new survey of over 300 IT professionals with responsibility for workforce identities and their security in large organizations shows that 87 percent expect passwordless solutions will become the leading approach to secure workforce identities within five years.

The study by Dimensional Research for Secret Double Octopus looks at perceptions and adoption of newer FIDO2-certified enterprise passwordless solutions, and the impact of single sign-on portal and endpoint biometric-based 'passwordless-like' experiences.

A new report from 1Password reveals that 43 percent of employees admit to risky online behaviors such as sharing logins, offloading tasks to others, or even abandoning certain tasks altogether to circumvent complicated login procedures.

Having to remember multiple logins heightens stress levels and strains mental health according to 41 percent of respondents. While 37 percent say that the onboarding process at their current job was time-consuming, confusing or challenging when it came to logging into work-related accounts.

Google has announced an expansion of its sign-in options. The company is opening up google Workspace, Google Cloud and BeyondCorp Enterprise so users can take advantage of single sign-on (SSO) from multiple third-party identity providers.

Google has long-supported SSO using the SAML protocol from a single identity provider (IdP), but the company recognizes that times are changing. Support for multiple SAML-based identity providers instead of just one is something that will benefit many customers.
