It is often said that identity is the new perimeter in the world of cloud-native ecosystems and zero trust. Identity is inarguably at the center of everything we do in modern systems and it is key to facilitating zero trust architectures and proper access control. That said, running identity and access management (IAM) at scale can be a daunting task, which is why more organizations are adopting identity-as-a-service (IDaaS) solutions.
IDaaS has its pros and cons, but first let’s clarify what IDaaS is.
What is IDaaS?
IDaaS is a cloud-based consumption model for IAM. Much like everything else in today’s modern technology ecosystem, IAM can be offered as a service. While there are some exceptions, IDaaS is typically delivered via the cloud and can be offered as a multitenant offering or dedicated delivery model depending on the organizational requirements and the capabilities of the provider in question.
