Things To Know About IDaaS

 


What is IDaaS? You may be asking yourself this question if you are hearing about IDaaS for the first time. In full, it stands for Identity as a Service, and it is a SaaS-based IAM offering that allows organizations to use single sign-on (SSO using SAML or OIDC), authentication and access controls to provide secure access to their growing number of software as well as SaaS applications.

IDaaS can also be defined as a predominantly cloud-based service in a multi-tenant or dedicated and hosted delivery model that brokers core identity governance and administration (IGA), access as well as intelligence functions with the aim of targeting systems on customer’ premises and in the cloud. The core aspects of IDaaS are IGA, access and intelligence.  IGA deals with provisioning of users to cloud applications and password reset functionality, access comprises user authentication, SSO and authorization supporting federation standards such as SAML, and intelligence has to do with identity access log monitoring and reporting.

Basic Identity as a Service is the support of SaaS apps. It has proven to be very effective for the small and medium business market, particularly the “born in the cloud” organizations. However, for IDaaS to be effective in the digital enterprise, it should have a broader application. A lot of enterprises feature complex information technology environments that include a mix of on-premises, PaaS, IaaS, and SaaS applications.

Additionally, enterprises typically use Identity as a Service to extend their existing IAM infrastructure. For this reason, enterprise IDaaS providers must deploy solutions that have the ability to bridge to existing user directories for authentication, integrate with existing web access management products to comply with access policy, integrate with a diverse mix of non-SaaS enterprise applications in their data centers or hosted in a third-party data center, and provide access management for web, mobile and API environments.
