Extra Factor Authentication: how to create zero trust IAM with third-party IdPs
- Identity and Access Management (IAM) is crucial in cybersecurity, ensuring only verified users access resources.
- Using third-party Identity Providers (IdPs) is common, offering robust security defenses against attacks.
- Extra Factor Authentication can enhance security using third-party IdPs while maintaining a zero trust posture.
- IAM verifies users' credentials before granting access to systems, preventing unauthorized entry and reducing fraud risks.
- Third-party IdPs like Okta or Google Identity Platform streamline identity management and authentication for organizations.
- IdPs offer benefits like multi-factor authentication, scalability, and ease of use but also carry security risks.
- Risks of third-party IdPs include potential backdoors into resources, posing a significant threat to organizations.
- Implementing Zero Trust Security (ZTS) ensures rigorous authentication for all access requests, increasing cybersecurity resilience.
- Zero Trust Security requires continuous authentication and verification, but combining it with third-party tools can pose challenges.
- A hybrid model like Canonical's ZTS implementation with third-party IdPs can offer added security benefits and full control over access permissions.
