There is a trend to provide a solution to this growing problem, such as Single Sign-On, whereby a user has one password which signs them in to all of the systems they need to access.

Three factor authentication (3FA), where the user provides a second token (2FA) AND biometric data, is where some of the biggest advances can be made in improving identity governance.

In the banking sector, the addition of a biometric factor can really change the game in terms of compliance, segregation of responsibilities and improvements in operational process.

According to the Verizon 2017 Data Breach Investigation Report, 81% of data breaches were due to weak credentialing and user authentication.

The use of SSO can increase productivity, reduce the cost of credential management and promote better identity governance. However, if the single password is compromised, an attacker can access all of the user’s applications.
