Information security threats take many shapes and forms, and can come from many different directions. SSO will help educate your organization enabling the appropriate personnel to make better security decisions, reduce risks, and maximize the effectiveness of technological resources.

The architecture and implementation of enterprise level firewalls, routers, virtual private networks (VPN), intrusion detection and intrusion prevention systems (IDS & IPS), antivirus, authentication servers, and custom security solutions can be a daunting task for many IT environments. SSO certified security experts will help in choosing the right products or solutions, and either implement or guide an organization's own IT personnel to ensure that all installation and configuration tasks are performed in an efficient and secure manner in accordance with policy, standards, or per industry best practices.

Once new servers or networking devices have been installed and are ready for use, there are many additional configuration options and tweaks that will help reduce the risks of attack and compromise.
Security versus ease of use is often a battle that IT personnel have to fight and SSO security experts can help ensure that the security configuration and hardening procedures for servers are appropriate to their environment in order to protect information assets without limiting functionality.
