SSO
Single Sign-On — one authentication grants access to multiple integrated applications.
SSO lets one authentication grant access to many integrated apps, cutting password sprawl and the reuse it breeds. The trade-off is concentration risk: the identity provider becomes a single point of failure and a high-value target, so it must be protected with strong MFA and tight monitoring. SAML and OIDC are the dominant enterprise SSO protocols.
