Authentication Challenges in SaaS Integration and Cloud Transformation

Explore authentication challenges in SaaS integration and Cloud transformation in this NorthSec conference talk. Delve into the complexities of managing authentication in cloud environments, examining common security pitfalls in SaaS integration and the risks associated with unmanaged cloud identities. Learn why adopting an Identity Provider (IDP) solution is crucial for securing cloud authentication, and discover how cloud-based IDP solutions offer more intelligent approaches to addressing authentication problems compared to traditional methods. Gain insights into the impact of work-from-home trends on cloud transformation, the prevalence of SaaS access models, and the importance of developing strategic roadmaps for maintaining security standards in cloud environments. Understand the limitations of conventional authentication methods in protecting public cloud resources and SaaS applications, and explore industry-standard authentication protocols as alternatives to homegrown methodologies.
