Duo Security’s Single Sign-On offering allows users to login only once to access multiple applications from being required to remember multiple login credentials. The security risks associated with credential compromises and breaches are reduced significantly with single sign-on.

By creating a streamlined and seamless one-click sign-on experience, our joint customers will benefit from enhanced security resilience.”
