## Single Sign-On (SSO) for Infrastructure

Teleport streamlines SSO for SSH and Kubernetes, connecting to your existing directory. Eliminate SSH key admin overhead and enhance security and efficiency.

## The Benefits of SSO

Using SSO gives end-users a simplified, single click method for accessing compute infrastructure. By integrating with a single source of identity, it reduces the possibility of stale permissions and IT system administrators don't have to manage another set of keys and passwords. Specifically, it enables security and systems engineers to enforce security and compliance policies such as:

Multi-factor authentication (MFA)

Integrating with company-wide SSO enables two-factor authentication (2FA) for SSH sessions using the same access control plane, simplifying management and audit.

Compliant process for onboarding and transferring employees

Ensure privileged access permissions stay up-to-date as individuals switch roles or leave the company.

Monitoring access patterns

Authenticating against a single source of truth allows for the monitoring of access in order to identify unusual patterns.
