With the increase in identity thefts and account takeovers, the demand for authentication solutions is increasing. SAML authentication solutions are convenient for enterprise users and consumers to authenticate themselves. Additionally, the increasing global competition has boosted the need to provide an enhanced customer experience. It would create market opportunities for SAML authentication solution and service vendors.

The SAML authentication protocol used in the Single sign-on (SSO) software solution passes the SAML assertion, authentication and authorization information from identity providers to service providers. The types of SAML assertions passed from identity providers to service providers include authentication, attribute, and authorization decision. Authentication assertion makes use of Kerberos, 2 Factor, and other authentication methods to prove the identity of the user. The attribution assertion includes detailed user information, which is used by authorization decision functionality to authenticate and authorize the user using the service. SAML protocol is available as direct integration with SSO, directory integration, and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) solutions. SAML authentication solutions are available as on-premises and cloud-based solutions. SAML authentication solutions enable companies to identify and authenticate legitimate customers and protect customers’ data from fraudulent activities. These solutions are gaining popularity because organizations, these days, are generating large volumes of information and have realized the need to provide access to only legitimate users for preventing frauds while delivering better user experience.
