ISC2 CISSP Practice Question

An organization relies on several cloud-based SaaS applications, including email, CRM, and project-management tools. Users currently authenticate separately to each application, generating frequent password-reset tickets and complaints about lost productivity. The security architect proposes introducing a single sign-on (SSO) solution so that, after authenticating to the corporate identity provider, employees can launch any authorized application without re-entering credentials. Which benefit of SSO BEST supports the architect's proposal?

  • It eliminates the need for multi-factor authentication because credentials are presented a single time.

  • It forces users to reset their passwords more frequently, reducing credential reuse across SaaS tools.

  • It provides a seamless user experience by requiring users to authenticate only once to reach all authorized applications.

  • It allows each SaaS application to maintain its own independent credential store while improving audit logging.
