Which identity and access management solution creates a single point of failure whereby compromising one set of user credentials could let an attacker access every connected application the user is authorized for?
Single sign-on (SSO) relies on a centralized identity provider. After the initial logon, the provider issues tokens that all integrated applications accept, so one compromised credential can unlock everything the user can reach. VPNs, network segmentation, and discretionary access control models do not inherently grant blanket access with one password.
