Identity as a Service

Identity as a service (IDaaS) is a cloud based third-party service that offers identity and access management to organizations. IDaaS allows entities to connect and use identity and access management services from the cloud providers. Moreover, it is a cloud based subscription model for identity and acess management (IAM), where identity and access services are delivered through the Internet by a third-party provider rather than deployed on-premise datacenters. IDaaS offers a couple of cloud-based services such as single sign on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), directory services and identity management that provide organizations with simple and cost-effective identity and access management capabilities.

Benefits of IDaaS include the following:

• Better user experience
• Scalable to meet customer needs
• Reduce cost
• Improved security
• Increase revenue
• Decentralization of identity
• On-demand scalability
