Adaptive SSO: Benefits, Limitations, and Where It Falls Short
Adaptive SSO enhances traditional single sign-on by introducing contextual and risk-based decision-making into authentication workflows. Instead of relying on a one-time login, it evaluates factors such as device, location, and user behavior to determine whether access should be granted, challenged, or blocked. This approach improves access control while reducing unnecessary authentication friction. However, adaptive SSO still depends on assumptions about device trust and session continuity, which may not hold in environments with shared systems or dynamic user behavior.
