SECURITY AND SSO WITH ZYNC
Simplify Access and Strengthen Security with ZYNC’s ZKeep and SSO
In today’s fast-paced digital world, Single Sign-On (SSO) is essential for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms. ZKeep by ZYNC, the leader in healthcare for providers to efficiently access payor portals in a secure environment, supports seamless integration with SSO. This allows users to authenticate once and securely access ZKeep alongside other authorized applications with a single set of credentials.
By leveraging SSO with ZKeep, healthcare providers can streamline workflows, reduce the risk of password-related breaches, and enhance user convenience. With secure protocols like SAML 2.0 authentication and integrations with leading identity providers such as Azure Entra ID (aka: Active Directory), Okta, and Amazon Cognito, ZKeep ensures the highest standards of security and efficiency.
What is SSO, and Why Does It Matter for SaaS?
Single Sign-On (SSO) is a streamlined authentication method that allows users to securely access multiple applications using just one set of credentials. This is particularly valuable for SaaS solutions like ZKeep, where healthcare providers require reliable, efficient, and secure access to payor portals and other critical online application portals throughout their workday.
With SSO, users log in once and gain secure access to ZKeep and other authorized services, simplifying their workflow and improving security. By reducing the need for multiple passwords, SSO minimizes vulnerabilities and centralizes authentication, making it a vital solution for organizations managing sensitive data in healthcare.
SSO also reduces administrative complexity, allowing IT teams to manage user access efficiently. With support for SAML 2.0, SSO ensures seamless, secure, and efficient integration across all platforms.
How Does SSO Work with ZKeep?
ZYNC’s ZKeep integrates seamlessly with SSO to provide a secure and user-friendly authentication experience. Here’s how it works:
Authentication Request: When a user attempts to access ZKeep, the application sends a request to the identity provider.
Credential Validation: If the user isn’t already logged in, the identity provider prompts them to enter their corporate credential.
Token Generation: Upon successful validation, the identity provider issues a secure token containing user details such as their email or username.
Access Granted: The token is shared with ZKeep, granting the user access to its secure environment.
With SAML 2.0, this process is streamlined and secure, ensuring users can move between ZKeep and other applications without needing to log in repeatedly.
Benefits of Accessing ZKeep via SSO
1. Enhanced Security
SSO enhances the security of ZKeep by centralizing authentication. Users only enter credentials with a trusted identity provider, reducing the risk of exposure. Session-based tokens expire automatically, ensuring unauthorized access is minimized. Centralized password and permission management also supports robust security policies, such as enforcing complex password requirements and eliminating password reuse across systems.
2. Streamlined User Experience
Healthcare providers using ZKeep via SSO benefit from a streamlined experience, logging in once to access all authorized applications including all payor portals. This reduces login fatigue and allows providers to focus on delivering care rather than managing multiple credentials.
3. Cost Savings and Improved Productivity
SSO reduces password-related help desk costs by simplifying authentication. By eliminating repetitive logins, users save valuable time, boosting productivity and minimizing disruptions. This efficiency is critical for healthcare providers who rely on ZKeep to access payor portals quickly and securely.
ZYNC’s ZKeep, the leading solution for healthcare providers to access payor portals securely and efficiently, becomes even more powerful when integrated with SSO. By combining ZKeep’s robust capabilities with the convenience and security of SAML 2.0-based SSO, ZYNC ensures a seamless, secure, and efficient user experience for healthcare organizations.
