Comment on OneLogin: Breach Exposed Ability to Decrypt Data

Comments

These SSO providers like OneLogin and Okta are incredibly high value targets. State-level targets. I predict that SSO providers and security tools (whether on-prem or SaaS) will be targeted and breached more and more often. The SSO providers are the middle men for accessing everything so they literally have the keys to the kingdom. Security tools are given incredible amounts of access and permissions without question.

As a result of trying to be more secure a big enterprise has gone from maybe a couple single points of compromise to several. It's not as easy to do script kiddie-level attacks but the tradeoff is that a very smart and/or well funded attacker now has some very, very powerful targets.
