The Challenge
Traditional SSO solutions only cover 20% of SaaS applications within an organization. The remaining unmanaged applications are not governed by access control mechanisms and therefore utilize weak, vulnerable passwords for authentication, leaving major gaps in access control and security. These gaps are due to the fact that so many browser-based applications simply do not offer SAML integration. What makes this worse, is in these situations, 75% of users utilize critically weak and redundant passwords making these non-SAML apps easy targets for credential theft via phishing, AiTM and social engineering. From the plethora of critical breaches at MGM, Orien Chemical, UGH, Transunion, Okta and others, keeping these vulnerable passwords in place as the authentication method is a recipe for disaster.
The Solution
Unixi eliminates passwords from any browser based application (including all non-SAML apps) by enabling secure, one-button access via Unixi’s Universal SSO. Unixi secures any browser-based app in just a few clicks, with zero application integration required. Users no longer have knowledge, control or management of passwords, with authentication replaced by Unixi’s Key Derived Authentication (KDA). Combined with Unixi’s discovery and governance capabilities and your existing IdP, organizations now gain security and total control over 100% of both SAML and non-SAML apps, greatly reducing risk of data loss for the enterprise. With Unixi’s approach, all risks associated with password-based, non-SAML apps, are eliminated, halting all threat vectors tied to user-managed passwords.
Business Benefits
- Elevated Security: By replacing vulnerable passwords in all non-SAML apps with Unixi’s Universal SSO, all password risks and associated threat vectors are eliminated.
- Total Control: Unixi delivers audit-ready access control to all unmanaged, no SAML applications.
- Better End-User Experience: Users gain a seamless, one-button login experience with no passwords to control, forget, get phished or compromised.
- No Integration: Eliminates reliance on application vendors for SSO capabilities.
- Significant Cost Savings: Since Unixi supports any browser-based application, Unixi can eliminate unnecessary SSO taxes by replacing traditional SSO where sensible.
