Cloud migration drives the need for interoperability among identity systems. Cloud Security Architects and IT Decision-Makers face a challenge: making diverse components work seamlessly together. The key lies in understanding interoperability, composability, and identity fabric. Implementing these concepts unlocks a positive impact on your organization's digital identity landscape.
Here are the key takeaways:
- Interoperability enables efficient communication between identity systems through SSO, SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect, DIDs, VCs, and SCIM.
- Composability combines components to create new systems or processes.
- Identity management interoperability presents challenges: competing standards, fragmentation, and usability. Solutions require a holistic approach.
- An identity fabric improves interoperability by standardizing protocols, centralizing management, and supporting new technologies.
- Interoperability enables easy swapping of identity services, transition to passwordless authentication, and switching between IDPs.
