Users encounter difficulties when using SSO systems, potentially causing delays in authentication or security risks.

Description

Single Sign-On (SSO) allows users to log into multiple applications with a single set of credentials. However, SSO systems can present challenges, such as configuration issues, improper integration, or security risks if the SSO platform is compromised. Problems arise when users are unable to authenticate across different services, either due to token expiration or session timeouts, or when their credentials are not synced correctly across integrated systems. If a hacker gains access to an SSO credential, they may gain access to all associated systems, potentially causing a wide-scale security breach. Organizations can mitigate these risks by ensuring that their SSO implementation is properly configured and that strong password policies are in place for the SSO account. Implementing MFA for SSO accounts adds an additional layer of security. Regular audits and reviewing access logs for unusual login patterns can help detect potential security issues early. Furthermore, adopting a zero-trust security model (which assumes no inherent trust for users, even within the network) can minimize the risks associated with SSO compromise.
