SSO enhances SaaS access security by streamlining logins via a single identity provider, but it cannot fully secure all company applications. The rise of remote work and diverse tools has widened the Access-Trust Gap, exposing unmonitored identities and devices. SSO is vulnerable to outages, superadmin access, and challenges in integrating contractors or legacy accounts. It also lacks oversight for AI agents and can be compromised. Companies need supplementary solutions like Device Trust and Extended Access Management to address these gaps, ensuring secure, continuous access for all users, devices, and AI tools.
