SSO: Enabling an Effective Password Policy

Overview Security policies are essential to any enterprise's overall security program. Policies allow the organization to define its security goals and objectives while also providing a framework to assist organizations in determining the proper level of security for each facet of the business. The most effective policies are embraced by employees and become part of the fabric of everyday business. One of the most difficult policies to implement is the password policy, because no other policy has a greater impact on the user community. With the advent of Single Sign-On (SSO) technology, organizations can overcome these impediments. This white paper discusses how organizations of all sizes can develop, implement and ensure the success of an effective password policy through the use of SSO.
