Seamless access and enhanced data security – SSOs

Recent data shows a 71% jump in cyberattacks using stolen credentials in 2023 (IBM, 2024). This shows why strong security, like SSO, is so important. This shows why strong security, like SSO, is so important. Exploring data security and data sustainability, we find SSO to be a key component that’s definitely worth talking about. In this article we are going to talk about how exactly SSO is affecting your day-to-day work life. How and why, we chose to implement it. Why we decided to use Google and Microsoft as Identification providers (IdP) - and what that means for you. Let’s dive right in.

The impact of Single Sign-on on your digital workflow

SSO makes it easier to access many applications with just one set of login details. This cuts down on the time spent logging in and out, boosting productivity and efficiency (Google Cloud, 2024).
All in all SSO simplifies user access, leading to better productivity and fewer support requests. This is vital for companies aiming to streamline their digital workflows (Google Cloud, 2024). It also lowers the risk of account conflicts, which can hinder the transfer of ownership for consumer accounts. Hence we are adding SSO to your AMVisor setup. SSO keeps data safe and efficient, helping companies stay ahead. Plus, SSO boosts user productivity by 30% by making app access easier (IBM, 2024). Additionally, companies see a 40% fall in security issues (IBM, 2024).

SSO prevents the accidental deletion of migrated accounts, highlighting the importance of keeping data intact during migration (Google Cloud, 2024). By using single sign-on for your AMVisor account, you can improve your digital workflows. This helps boost productivity and keeps your data safe.
All in all, SSO helps you to keep your data safe. Furthermore, it boosts digital sustainability by keeping your company’s governance standards in line. Plus, it fosters long-term value through efficient data management which results in a lower economic impact.

Enhanced AMVisor login with Single Sign-on

We are implementing SSO to enhance the security of your personal work data. Furthermore, we try to improve day-to-day productivity and streamline your digital workflows by providing you with a single sign-on option.

How do we implement single sign-ons?

We use Google and Microsoft as Identification Providers (IdPs) while our Amazon analytics tool AMVisor acts as the Service Provider (SP). This setup allows you to access your account with just one set of credentials,  reducing login friction for you and lowering support requests by around 50% for us (Google Cloud, 2024).

Why using Google and Microsoft for SSO?

Google and Microsoft have robust security architectures that help protect your data while simplifying access. Their established infrastructure adds multiple layers of protection, including:

  • IP address markup: Tracks and flags suspicious login attempts.
  • 2-factor authentication (2FA): Adds an extra layer of security.
  • Company security guidelines: Aligns with industry best practices for data protection.

With these protections in place, your AMVisor account benefits from a simplified, secure login process that mirrors your familiar Google or Microsoft account experience.

What does this mean for you?

By enabling SSO, we help you:

  • Optimize digital workflows for better productivity.
  • Protect against accidental account deletions during migrations.
  • Align with governance standards for long-term data sustainability.
  • Foster long-term value through efficient, secure data management.

In the end, SSO is a win-win: it keeps your data safe and simplifies access whilst helping your company stay flexible in a fast-moving digital landscape.

Conclusion

SSO helps manage data in an eco-friendly, socially responsible, and cost-effective way. All in all SSO lets users log into many apps with just one set of credentials, making life easier and safer. SSO also makes managing user accounts easier. It simplifies adding and removing access, saving your IT time and money. Furthermore, it helps protect sensitive information by using one strong password instead of many weak ones.
Hence, SSO centralizes multi-factor authentication and makes managing your user accounts easier. It even boosts your productivity by cutting down on login time. This means you can focus more on your actual work efforts.
By providing SSOs for your AMVisor setup we make sure your data is secure, your workflows simplified and additionally meet your company’s legal and compliance standards.

Key takeaways

  • SSO makes things safer by instantly cutting off access to all apps and platforms when an employee’s access is taken away.
  • SSO lets you get into many apps and platforms with just one set of login details, making things easier and safer.
  • Using SSO lets your company make sure all passwords are strong.
  • SSO works with Identity Providers (IdPs) and Service Providers (SPs). In our case: AMVisor is the SPs and Google and Microsoft are the IdPs
  • SSO makes managing users easier by letting you assign and change access rights in one place, making work more efficient.
