IDaaS Identity as a Service

The Dawn of Outsourced Identity Management

Identity as a Service (IDaaS) is an approach to digital identity management in which an organization relies on a service provider to make use of functionality like registration, enrollment, identity management, authentication, provisioning and federated SSO.

For SMB and many enterprises, the time has come to supplement their internal IdM or Active Directory based infrastructure with a more agile cloud hosted identity solution.

Larger companies commonly benefit from the IDaaS approach when managing contract workforce identities that are not co-mingled in the corporate directory. In either case, existing on-premise IdM infrastructure can be leveraged as needed for a blended on-premise and IDaaS approach.
