Users of the skybook Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) are able to easily log into the app using their organisation’s single sign-on (SSO) credentials; saving time and improving flight data security.

SSO on EFB apps provide numerous benefits for both the users and the airline.

Here are some of the key advantages to using SSO:

Enhanced EFB Security

Using a single set of secure credentials, pilots and crew can significantly reduce the risk of password-related breaches.

SSO also integrates with multi-factor authentication (MFA), adding an additional layer of security to the EFB.

With fewer credentials in circulation, there’s less opportunity for users to fall victim to phishing scams targeting multiple accounts.

Furthermore, centralised access management makes it easier to monitor and control access to sensitive flight data and operational systems.

Streamlined User Experience 

SSO provides quick access by eliminating password fatigue and the need to remember multiple passwords, streamlining login times during pre-flight briefings and preparations.

It also simplifies onboarding for new users, allowing them to access the EFB app seamlessly once their organisation credentials are configured, avoiding complex account registration processes. 

Additionally, SSO ensures consistent access across platforms, enabling users to log in once and access multiple integrated data within the skybook EFB ecosystem without the need for repeated authentication.

Operational Efficiency

The need for password resets and resolving login-related issues is greatly reduced, resulting in fewer helpdesk tickets and a lighter workload for IT support teams. 

IT teams can streamline user management by controlling roles and permissions through a single directory, ensuring that users are granted the appropriate access levels efficiently.

With centralised identity management, recovering access during system failures or emergencies is faster and more reliable. 

Compliance and Auditability

SSO enables detailed access logs, recording who accessed the EFB app, when, and from where. This feature supports compliance with aviation regulations by providing a clear audit trail, and meets GDPR regulatory requirements.

In cases of employee departures, access to all linked systems can be revoked in a single step, significantly reducing security risks.

Experience SSO integration with our EFB today!

By utilising SSO within an EFB app, airlines can enhance security, improve efficiency, and ensure pilots have a seamless, user-friendly experience; all critical for maintaining safe and efficient flight operations.

Implementing SSO effectively requires a trusted provider and proper safeguards to protect the central authentication system itself.
