In today’s landscape, most organizations operate multi-cloud or hybrid environments. To combat risks, CDOs and CISOs must employ modern techniques authorization and authentication techniques to meet best-in-class compliance standards across multiple platforms, systems, and deployments.
When it comes to authentication, many organizations have embraced platform-independent methods like SAML and OIDC for greater flexibility, standardization, and ease of use. These methods also reduce the risks of data breaches and other security threats. Explore this Ventana Research report to learn:
