The current cloud based single sign-on platform and the Bring-Your Own-Device (BYOD) policies, present number of Cyber Security Challenges that have not yet been solved.
These articles may address some of your concerns:

I would suggest that the problems faced by any applications running in the cloud are no different to the same applications running in a local data centre.
1. First factor authentication is by means of username/password
2. The password is fixed, and transmitted in clear.
3. There is no second/third factor authentication
4. In most cases, the cloud-based data is unencrypted
5. Even if the cloud-based data is encrypted, the encryption-key management is open to abuse by privileged users, and theft by determined hackers.
My project ("IDaaS with secure data-at-rest") has addressed all of these issues and others. Please feel free to browse it, or see my website for more details.
Sorry, I thought that would make a link. Here it is:
