Identity and Device Verification

Implement MFA everywhere, device health checks, certificate-based identity, and conditional access.

Identity Providers (IdP)

An Identity Provider is the central system that authenticates users and issues tokens for other services. Modern IdPs support SSO, MFA, and conditional access. Examples: Okta, Azure AD (Entra ID), Google Workspace, Ping Identity.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

SSO lets users authenticate once with the IdP and access multiple applications without re-entering credentials. Built on SAML 2.0 or OIDC protocols. Security benefit: fewer credentials = fewer credential theft opportunities; security controls centralized at IdP.
