IDaaS (Identity as a Service)
Cloud-delivered identity and access management, providing authentication, SSO, and directory services without requiring on-premises infrastructure.
Identity as a Service (IDaaS) delivers identity and access management capabilities from the cloud. Instead of maintaining on-premises directory servers and authentication infrastructure, organizations subscribe to a cloud provider that handles user authentication, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and user lifecycle management.
IDaaS providers (like Okta, Azure AD, OneLogin) integrate with thousands of SaaS applications, enabling centralized identity management. Administrators can provision and deprovision access from a single dashboard.
For teams, IDaaS works alongside password managers: IDaaS handles SSO-enabled applications, while a password manager covers the many services that don’t support SSO (legacy apps, shared accounts, WiFi passwords, API keys).
