With the introduction of LastPass Business, we're restructuring how we help teams of all sizes with password security and employee access. LastPass Business offers a password management solution to start your journey, with the ability to add access and authentication features like single sign-on (SSO) as your security goals and needs evolve. With one-click access to applications, adding SSO to your LastPass Business subscription further simplifies and secures employee logins.
With the seismic shift to remote work and hybrid work environments over the past year, many businesses rapidly adopted cloud solutions to keep employees connected and productive. With a growing portfolio of cloud apps, consolidating employee access is more important than ever.
SSO allows employees to log in once to an employee portal and launch any apps they need. Authentication happens automatically in the background, with no other credentials or passwords required. Employees can jump from app to app and task to task without being slowed down by login forms.
By replacing traditional passwords with more secure authentication protocols, SSO can help reduce password-related cybersecurity risks. Admins have tighter control over who can access which apps and can restrict or revoke access in real-time when circumstances change. Employees have fewer passwords to create and manage, while IT can centrally oversee access from one central Admin console.
In short, SSO is a crucial tool for businesses looking to embrace the new norm of remote work while implementing a passwordless authentication process for employees.
"LastPass has been exceeding expectations for our company’s security goals,” says Bryan Veal, Systems Engineer, Shasta County Office of Education. “It satisfies the need for having a single location where we can easily access different URLs and credentials and provide access to the appropriate people."
