What is Identity-as-a-Service?
The term Identity as-a-service (IDaaS) refers to cloud-based identity and access management solutions that help control user access to resources from a hosted environment. The key benefit of IDaaS is speed. When you can provide simpler, faster management tools for deploying IT resources to users, your business can adopt new technology more quickly.
Whether you are looking for a secure bridge to the cloud or a transformative makeover of your identity and access management (IAM) environment, IBM Cloud™-based offerings can deliver a business-friendly IAM.
