Identity Providers (IdPs) Critical Role in Zero Trust Adoption

The state of work is changing, and distributed teams have become the norm. Instead of securing a singular perimeter around your organization’s network; employees, contractors, and vendors regularly require access to resources from anywhere and from any device. Today, many organizations manage the myriad of digital identities employees need to access tools and services with an identity provider (IdP).
