November 22, 2024. Digital requirements in mechanical and plant engineering are increasing: Customer portals manage sensitive data and must also meet high standards of user-friendliness and security. Our EquipmentCloud® digitalization solution and KontronGrid IoT device management solution now meet these requirements with single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) – for greater security and user-friendliness.

With the new SSO function, a single login is all you need to use various applications securely. External identity providers such as Azure Active Directory take care of authentication. This reduces password risks and simplifies operation.
The ability to integrate multiple identity providers is particularly innovative. This means that not only your teams, but also your customers and their employees benefit from the function. For example, your customers’ machine operators can use their own company’s identity provider to access the customer portal securely and without additional passwords. Access rights are managed decentrally by the respective domain administrator, leaving control completely in the hands of your customers.
The MFA function complements the security concept. In addition to the password, a second factor, such as a one-time code or biometric data, is requested. MFA thus offers effective protection against phishing and other attacks.
The introduction of SSO and MFA brings numerous advantages for all parties involved. You benefit from centralized user management, a significant reduction in the workload of the IT department and compliance with new legal requirements such as the NIS2 directive and the Cyber Resilience Act. Your customers can seamlessly integrate their existing identity providers and gain full control over their user management. End users, in turn, enjoy easy and secure access – both in the web portal and via mobile applications.
With SSO and MFA, EquipmentCloud® and KontronGrid take security standards to a new level. These functions combine convenience and protection and make companies fit for the challenges of digital transformation.
