SAML is a widely used protocol for implementing Single Sign-On (SSO), allowing users to authenticate once and access multiple applications. It exchanges authentication and authorization data between an identity provider and service providers.
MFA requires two or more forms of verification, such as a password (something you know) and a one-time code sent to a phone (something you have). This provides stronger security than traditional authentication methods.
LDAP is a protocol used to access and manage directory services, which store identity-related information, such as user credentials and access rights. It is widely used for managing users in an IAM system.
PAM tools are designed to control and monitor access to critical systems by managing and securing privileged accounts. They help ensure that only authorized users have elevated access to sensitive resources.
An Identity Management (IdM) system is used to centralize and secure the storage and management of user identities, roles, and permissions. It ensures that access rights are properly assigned and maintained across various systems within the organization.
