Federated Single Sign-On benefits
Federated Single Sign-On (SSO) strengthens your firm's security posture by centralizing Thomson Reuters product access control within your existing Workforce Identity service.
Customers who use Federated SSO usually seek enhanced security and often require specific security controls to be met. Requiring authentication on their Workforce Identity service before giving access to Thomson Reuters products provides these customers with multiple options beyond basic password security.
Federated SSO provides 2 enhanced security benefits:
Centralized user access control
Your IT department normally turns off network logins when employees leave the company. However, 3rd-party products such as those provided by Thomson Reuters are typically administered outside the IT department.
Turning off sign ins for 3rd-party products is often a slower process, potentially exposing sensitive data and systems to former employees. By requiring users to sign in via Federated SSO, turning them off on your Workforce Identity service automatically removes their ability to sign in to Thomson Reuters products.
Consistent authentication standards
Firms with specific security or compliance requirements need 3rd-party products that meet the same authentication standards. These requirements may include password complexity rules, multi-factor authentication, or other access controls.
Using Federated SSO, you can apply the same authentication technology from your Workforce Identity service to control access to Thomson Reuters products.
