![]() If another site is compromised and the passwords leaked, they won’t be able to be used on your application. Users often reuse passwords between sites.The user doesn’t even have a password that they could enter and they won’t ever see a login screen. Completely eliminates the phishing attack vector.Improve Your Application’s Security Profileīy using SAML to authenticate an identity instead of passing a username and password, it can decrease your vulnerability to several attacks: In talking to cloud app customers, this single feature is often what moved them up the pricing tier of an application and they don’t really mind the extra cost, because the feature has become an imperative. The number one feature Slack blurbs for their Plus plan is SAML (SSO). You can enable SAML on your higher cost plans, such as an enterprise plan, and be reimbursed for the value you added.Ĭheck out this pricing chart for Slack a OneLogin partner: Add Value (that you can charge for).īy enabling SAML, you’re increasing the value of your app through all the benefits SAML provides: SSO, better usability, speed, and phishing prevention. It isn’t going to disappear any time soon or be replaced by some new flavor-of-the-day that comes along. Learn how to enable SAML here.Īnd SAML is SAFE because it is an industry standard that has been around since 2002 and is used by thousands of applications and all the leading IAM vendors. However, now you can enable SAML in as little as 2 hours. ![]() It’s true that SAML used to be a huge and complex investment to enable. SAML is an XML-based, open-standard data format for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, in particular, between an identity provider (like us) and a cloud application (like you). SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is EASY because it doesn’t take a lot of time and money to implement-not nearly as much as you probably think it does. Add a line like this to your FAQs: “We support multi-factor authentication through our cloud IAM partners,” and call it a day. Managing federation with a slew of different providers or rolling your own MFA adds a significant amount of technical debt.įor early to mid stage startups, simply rolling out SAML enables organizations using and Identity Management system such as OneLogin, to layer Multi Factor Authentication before authentication happens via SAML, effectively increasing the security of your application, with no work on your part. ![]() So, your focus should be on finding a solution that is hassle-free and long-lasting. ![]() Getting it wrong can be disastrous: just like with any other crucial technology decision, choosing a solution that turns out to be difficult to maintain or doesn’t hold up over time can be a major setback in time and money. Implementing SSO and MFA on your own is time consuming. Commenters are begging for SSO because the ease would increase app usage by employees, while others reveal they have given up the app after 3 years of an unmet request and have already turned to a competitor. One of the top feature requests for HipChat, with 2,768 votes is SAML. Other companies may not require SAML, but without a doubt, they sure would love to have the features SAML provides. ”Identity management SSO is so crucial to Pandora that if a prospective cloud app vendor doesn’t have a SAML-connector for its SSO system-which happens about 30 percent of the time-the company will walk away.”ĭirector of Security and Compliance at Pandora Doug Meier, the director of security and compliance at Oakland-based Pandora says, “Identity management SSO is so crucial to Pandora that if a prospective cloud app vendor doesn’t have a SAML-connector for its SSO system-which happens about 30 percent of the time-the company will walk away.” In many regulated industries such as healthcare and legal, Identity Management and SSO are mandated and other industries such as high tech that place a high value on efficiency and business integrity, simply won’t use a product that doesn’t support SAML. You WILL lose business (and the most lucrative business) if you don’t support SSO.įor many companies, SSO (Single Sign-On) and MFA (Multifactor Authentication) have gone from being “nice extras” to “must-haves.” If you haven’t already lost business because your application doesn’t support these features, chances are good that you soon will. ![]()
