QUESTION
What are the benefits of using the single sign-on (SSO) feature?
ANSWER The SSO integration provides the following advantages:
Access your documents anywhere, from any device
You increasingly want to (and are expected to) access work data at a moment's notice, wherever you are, no matter what device you're using.
The SSO integration allows you to securely access your backups from a browser on any device, using your own organization's SSO solution. You can get your job done no matter where you are, or what device you're on.
Improved business continuity in a disaster scenario
Laptop loss and theft, along with other threats such as hardware failure and malware/ransomware, mean that losing access to data stored on a machine is relatively common. Allowing the you to securely access their backed up data with SSO lets you continue working while your device is replaced.
No need to wait for help or remember credentials
Backup data access is often necessary in an emergency, one which may be exacerbated if you have to remember your credentials or contact support for help.
The SSO integration lets you regain access to your business files in seconds, without ever waiting for help.
Secure access to business data
Using SSO through a recognized Identity Provider (IdP) is a proven and secure way to access applications and data.
NOTE To have the SSO integration enabled, please consult your File Protection service provider.
