Security improvements:
- Fewer passwords mean fewer attack surfaces. One strong credential managed centrally is harder to compromise than 10 weak, reused passwords.
- Centralized access control: Revoking access to every app takes one action (disabling the AD account), not 20 separate logins.
- Consistent MFA enforcement: MFA applied at the IdP level covers all apps uniformly.
- Full audit trail: Every login and app access is logged centrally for compliance reporting.
User experience improvements:
- One login for all apps, no credential fatigue, and no password reset tickets.
- Seamless browser and mobile experience: users are automatically authenticated across apps in the same session.
- Faster onboarding: New employees get access to all approved apps the moment their directory account is created.
