AesirX and Concordium: New Analytics and SSO Technology
Why It Matters: Some laws say companies can only collect and store personal data online if they do it in a way that follows the law. BigTech has been criticized for a long time because it contains too much information about what people do online, uses aggressive third-party tracking, and shares information where it should not. In recent years, companies have been fined hundreds of millions of dollars because they were not following the law.
Details: AesirX and Concordium have recently developed a WordPress plugin that will revolutionize analytics and single sign-on (SSO) solutions for businesses. This powerful tool records website performance, browsing patterns, and user experiences in real time, creating streamlined SSO access for administrators and employees.To make user authentication even more secure, the WordPress plugin integrates with cloud directories so that users will not have to remember multiple passwords for different services. With AesirX and Concordium's WordPress plugin, businesses can get the most comprehensive analytics solution while keeping user data safe. Read→
