What is Cloud Single Sign-On (SSO)?

Cloud Single Sign-On (Cloud SSO) is a type of SSO that enables users to authenticate and access multiple cloud-based applications and services using a single set of credentials. Cloud SSO is typically provided as a cloud-based service and allows users to securely access applications and services from any device or location.

With Cloud SSO, users can access cloud-based applications and services without needing to remember or enter multiple usernames and passwords. Instead, they can log in once to a cloud-based identity provider or portal and gain access to all their authorized applications and services.

Cloud SSO is typically implemented using standard authentication and authorization protocols such as SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect. These protocols enable secure communication between the cloud-based identity provider and the applications and services being accessed.

Cloud SSO offers several benefits, including improved user experience, increased security, simplified IT management, and reduced costs. By providing a single point of authentication and access control for multiple cloud-based applications and services, Cloud SSO can help organizations improve productivity and streamline workflows.
