Enterprises need to use methods to maximize the use of digital identities for multiple users. Although SSO and FIM are used together, they do not mean the same thing. The main difference between Identity Federation and SSO lies in the range of access. What is Single Sign-On (SSO) Since the early days of the internet, using a single digital identity for multiple logins was considered a risk from cybersecurity’s perspective. And it is indeed. However, logging in to different web applications one by one is time-consuming, inconvenient, and disrupts the workflow. The solution to this dilemma lies with SSO. A single sign-on or SSO is an authentication scheme that allows users to access multiple web applications securely through a single set of credentials. For example, it’s what lets you browse your Gmail account in one tab and use Youtube in another tab on your browser. How single sign-on works SSO is a token-based system, which means users are assigned a token for identification instead of a password. Let’s say you go to an application you want to use; you will receive a security token that contains all your information (like your email address, username, etc.). Then, an Identity Provider compares this token to the credentials you provide during login and grants your authentication. Benefits of single sign-on - Reduces costs and password resets - Streamlines production - Enhanced customer experience - Reliable security What is Federated Identity Management (FIM) Federated Identity Management (Identity Federation) is a system that allows users from different enterprises (domains) to use the same digital identity to access all their applications and networks. How FIM works An FIM system is established between two or more identity brokers across organizations based on mutual trust. FIM partners communicate through authorization messages, using the SAML or a similar Extensible Markup Language standard, like OAuth or OpenID Connect. Benefits of FIM FIM removes the obstacles that prevent users from accessing the resources they need. Users can access applications and resources from different domains without remembering multiple passwords or logging in every time. Hence, reducing time and increasing productivity.

Why PKI Is Critical to Your Cloud Strategy

Image
Modern businesses are becoming ever more reliant on digital data and electronic activities, and as a result, meet rigorous data privacy compliance hurdles and information security regulations. Also, with companies increasingly under threat of online cyber-attacks and malicious insiders, enterprise applications and interfaces are now reliant on using digital credentials to manage how users and companies access sensitive information and crucial system resources. This is why businesses rely on several data authentication systems to guard their key customer and enterprise data. However, out of all different authentication systems, PKIs (Public Key Infrastructure) ensure the trustworthiness of identity credentials. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is not a new concept and neither is its cloud strategy. PKI is principally about managing online identities that facilitate ways to safeguard data and understand the user identity when administering data over untrusted interfaces. Role of PKI i...

No Industry is Above or Below the Radar: Seeing Value in Your Data

Image
In 2019, few of us were wiser to the change that the world would go through. It seems as though one day we were exchanging ideas and trends about the world of technology in 2020, and in an instant, a health crisis accelerated the rate of change for everyone. If it is not yet obvious, no industry has gone unscathed. Organizations in the public and private sector have had to re-evaluate their offering, redefine how they offer their service, and redesign their approach to data. When the big data frenzy settled in, organizations that had a large database, as well as startups, seemed the best fit for data-based techniques and technology. As a result, organizations of that nature invested in protecting the data they had as well as the data they would be collecting in the future. Your local health office, the restaurant around the corner, the airline that is transporting you to your loved ones for the holidays, and the seamstress who gets you ready for that traditional ceremony all collec...
