<p>The digital age has revolutionized the way we do business. Unfortunately, this digital revolution comes with a dark side. With the ever-evolving cybercrime landscape, we all need to stay ahead. &nbsp;</p>





<p>With old building masses, aging infrastructures, incompatible components, and poorly maintained security, buildings are no exception. &nbsp;</p>



<p>We continue the work of <strong>increasing our customer's cybersecurity and reducing the potential attack threat</strong>. By investing heavily in security measures, we strive to build a safe user environment and keep protecting sensitive data. One of these significant steps is the Single Sign-On (SSO) update.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="h-about-the-update"><strong>About the update</strong></h2>



<p>With one login for all products, we are reducing the number of passwords you have to manage. Since you also can enable multi-factor authentication, this provides greater login security.&nbsp;</p>





<h3 id="h-1-enterprise-security">1. Enterprise security</h3>



<p>The need to raise the level of security is a response to the new security situation in Europe that has deteriorated in 2022. To reduce the attack surface, we have:</p>



<ul>
<li>Moved the authentication to an enterprise security level identity provider (ISO 27001 certified partner).</li>



<li>Enabled Single Sign-On between all Kiona products, utilizing modern security protocols.</li>



<li>Option to enable <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/what-is-multifactor-authentication-e5e39437-121c-be60-d123-eda06bddf661" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">multi-factor authentication</a> on all our products.</li>



<li>Secured standardization of account management.</li>
</ul>



<p>We have also moved our internal IT to an ISO 27001-certified partner and continue working on security strategies in development routines and other internal processes.</p>



<h3 id="h-2-usability-and-user-experience">2. Usability and user experience</h3>



<p>Introducing a <strong>single sign-on between all our products</strong> allows a greater usability experience. You can log in once with your e-mail and password and then freely navigate between the products without being challenged for user credentials again.</p>



<ul>
<li>You can also log in with your Microsoft 365 account and use your security policies for the entire organization, including multi-factor authentication and other security demands.</li>
</ul>



<h3 id="h-3-existing-user-directory">3. Existing user directory</h3>



<p>Many of our customers have their own user directories, with thousands of users assigned permissions according to the company's organizational structure. To support this, you can now include federated domains.</p>



<ul>
<li>This allows users in the customer user directory to be identified using their existing credentials with our products.</li>



<li>By delegating the user management to your identity management system, we ensure that you can keep following your existing security policies.</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="h-how-the-new-update-works"><strong>How the new update works</strong></h2>



<p>When logging into one of our solutions, you will meet a <strong>new login page</strong>. Log in using your e-mail and password. You can also choose to log in with your Microsoft 365 account.</p>

<p>IWMAC users will be asked to add and verify their e-mail addresses. Follow the steps and use the "Forgotten password" option if needed. <strong><a href="https://iwmac.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/8079407679900-NEW-login-IWMAC-important-information">Important information about the new IWMAC login.</a></strong></p>

Unified login and strengthened security – SSO

Edge

<p><strong>Picture this;</strong> You have a property stock of 140,000 m<sup>2 </sup>spread over 30 properties. Now, imagine controlling all third-party applications data, technical equipment, and systems from these properties, while at the same time, you can control the indoor climate and optimize energy use.</p>



<p><strong>This is possible thanks to seamless navigation.</strong></p>



<p>Seamless navigation gives the user the possibility to connect buildings in Edge with process pictures in Web Port. This allows for the user to move smoothly between platforms. From the helicopter-view of the complete building-portfolio in Edge, down to the more specific building-view in Web Port, and the other way around. </p>



<p>Combining this with Single-Sign-On gives the user a seamless experience and intuitive workflow.</p>
