Author: campuseai
We are getting addicted to technology a lot. Internet, which is a popular form of technology, has become a necessity more than a luxury which it was considered till the last decade. All the business houses, educational institutions, governmental institutions and organizations are getting their systems and processes automated with internet based technologies. They want to perform in a better way with help of the technology. However internet maybe providing them various benefits but it also comes with various risks like data theft, data piracy and hacking. Cyber crimes are a major concern for these organizations which are working with internet as their core service manager. Even though they take several precautions, data theft cannot be avoided.
A major reason behind it is the access to several accounts by a single person. When a person has to access several accounts, it costs him time, effort and the convenience of work. Moreover to avoid the stress caused by remembering so many passwords and user login details, he tries to stick to the simplest one or use just one password for all the accounts. In the pursuit of keeping the password simple so that he can remember it every time, the network account is exposed to cyber attack. Every year several companies have to suffer from this data theft related cyber crimes which can be easily avoided with help of the single sign on services. These services allow the user to access multiple accounts with just a single sign in. it is the most convenient way to handle the data and the network accounts without worrying about the data theft. Instead of having multiple passwords you can have a single password which is difficult to guess for anyone.
With the single sign on an organization can reduce the time invested in accessing multiple accounts to perform a particular task. The workers will be able to sign in with a single login and access them anytime they want to, to perform their different tasks. In the single sign on, security and safety is a major thing looked upon to. Here the users will also get a feature called OTP, which is one time password. Whenever the user will access through single sign in the system will generate a single login password, either delivered via cell phone or other communication channels. However you must avoid having single sign on in a common sharing computer.
