ADDITIONAL SECURITY AND HIGH-LEVEL COMPLIANCE
Integrate Centralized Authentication
SecureStrux can help you build a comprehensive security system that includes convenient and secure centralized single-point authentication for users. Learn how.
What is Centralized Authentication?
Having disparate user authentication and login portals across your various services and systems complicates compliance efforts and introduces different and unnecessary attack surfaces for hackers. With centralized authentication, you can streamline system access and concentrate security and user management into a single place.


Centralized Authentication and Defense Compliance
CMMC and the underlying NIST 800-171 call for several levels of access controls for internal and guest users. To maintain higher levels of CMMC certification (and thus the ability to manage CUI) you must leverage Centralized Authentication to protect connected work domains, control user access, and allow or disallow guest access.
Is Centralized Authentication the Same as Single Sign-On Management?
Single Sign-On (SSO) is similar to, but slightly different than centralized authentication. With SSO, you can implement a more complex solution to ease access. SSO solutions store credentials for users across resources to reduce logins to a single event, whereas centralized authentication would require multiple logins to access different resources.

Azure Active Directory
We work with you and your Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure to minimize administrative burden for authentication and authorization. Active Directory allows you to field apps and resources while centralizing authentication across all of your assets.
