Abstract:
-----------------------
In recent years, enterprise single sign-on (ESSO) has emerged as an easy, smart and affordable way for organizations of all types and sizes to strengthen IT security while supporting user productivity. With the advent of more stringent government regulations, organizations are seeking ways to further strengthen IT security by incorporating stronger passwords and in many cases an additional form of authentication, such as a security card or token or even finger biometrics.

The idea behind using an additional factor beyond a password provides strong authentication so that each computer on an organization's network has a stronger "front door" against entry by unauthorized users. However, the use of these increased security measures has an impact across the organization, both on all computer users as well as the helpdesk staff who need to support these users. ESSO alleviates the inconvenience not only of a multiplicity of stronger passwords to access applications, but also integrates with strong authentication to ensure that every "front door" in the organization is as secure as possible.

But which authentication option is right for you and your organization? And how easily can it be integrated with your ESSO solution? These are just two of the many questions to consider as you evaluate strong authentication choices. This topic explores these questions and addresses how organizations can achieve strong authentication with ESSO -- easily and affordably -- to increase their security levels dramatically without creating inconvenience for either IT staff or end users.
