"Imprivata’s Single Sign-On solution has tremendously improved our employees' productivity. Without the need to remember an extensive list of passwords, SSO has allowed us to focus on more important matters, such as the financial needs of our members. Employees quoted that SSO is truly a great addition and quite possibly one of the most pure technical enhancements ever."
Quote attributed to Omar Hussain, president and CEO of Imprivata
"Recent breaches have sparked heightened urgency within the financial services industry to protect vital company data. With a proven and enduring track record of success, businesses continue to turn to OneSign to prevent unauthorized access to the key financial information of their customers. The ability to simply monitor and report on what data was accessed by whom, when and from where is mandatory for financial institutions that are entrusted to protect their clients’ data as well as their own brands."
