Overview

Single Sign-On (SSO) allows users to securely access the Ubiq Dashboard (UI) using their organization’s existing Identity Provider (IdP) credentials (such as Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, or Google Workspace) instead of a separate Ubiq username and password.

When SSO is enabled, authentication is centralized under your corporate identity system, ensuring every login to Ubiq follows the same access policies, multi-factor requirements, and conditional access controls already enforced across your organization.

Why It Matters

SSO is not just a convenience feature, it’s a core component of Zero Trust security.
By delegating authentication to your IdP, you:

• Eliminate credential sprawl
  Users no longer maintain a separate password for Ubiq, reducing password reuse and potential credential exposure.
• Enforce consistent access controls
  Every Ubiq session inherits your organization’s identity policies — including MFA, device posture, location restrictions, and session duration limits.
• Automate onboarding and offboarding
  When a user joins or leaves your organization, their Ubiq access automatically follows their IdP status. This removes the need for manual account provisioning and reduces the risk of orphaned accounts.
• Centralize auditability
  All authentication events are logged in your IdP, providing unified visibility across all applications, including Ubiq. This supports compliance efforts such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and GDPR.

Security Benefits

Integrating SSO with Ubiq strengthens both identity assurance and data protection layers:

• Stronger Identity Assurance
  Authentication is handled by your trusted IdP, which likely supports adaptive risk analysis, phishing-resistant MFA (e.g., FIDO2), and centralized credential policies.
• Reduced Attack Surface
  No Ubiq-managed passwords means fewer targets for brute-force or credential-stuffing attacks. Compromised credentials in one system can’t be reused in Ubiq.
• Streamlined Compliance
  Centralized access control simplifies access certification, audit reporting, and identity governance workflows, helping demonstrate control over who can manage your cryptographic and key management controls.

Summary

Enabling SSO for Ubiq aligns access to the Ubiq dashboard with your enterprise’s existing security posture. It replaces isolated credentials with centralized, auditable identity control, reducing risk, improving governance, and supporting a unified Zero Trust approach across both identity and data layers.
