Zoho Directoryby Wanas Apps, a Zoho Premium Partner
Zoho Directory is a workforce identity and access management platform that provides Single Sign-On for all Zoho and third-party applications, Multi-Factor Authentication via Zoho OneAuth, Device Management, and role-based Security Policies from one central admin console.
The Challenge
IT teams managing dozens of SaaS applications manually provision and deprovision user access in each system separately — a process that leaves former employees with active accounts after offboarding and gives no unified view of who has access to what. Without SSO and MFA enforced centrally, password fatigue drives employees to reuse weak credentials across systems, dramatically increasing the attack surface.
Why You Need Zoho Directory
Zoho Directory delivers Single Sign-On across 350+ pre-built application integrations — both Zoho apps and third-party tools — so employees authenticate once and access everything securely. Multi-Factor Authentication via Zoho OneAuth enforces passwordless or step-up login, Device Management ensures only trusted endpoints can connect, and Role-Based and Policy-Based Authentication controls restrict access to sensitive apps based on user role, device compliance, or location.
