In today’s landscape, most organizations operate multi-cloud or hybrid environments. To combat risks, CDOs and CISOs must employ modern techniques authorization and authentication techniques to meet best-in-class compliance standards across multiple platforms, systems, and deployments.  

When it comes to authentication, many organizations have embraced platform-independent methods like SAML and OIDC for greater flexibility, standardization, and ease of use. These methods also reduce the risks of data breaches and other security threats. Explore this Ventana Research report to learn:  

• The drawbacks and risks associated with continued use of legacy authentication methods designed for on-premises computing, like Windows Active Directory 

• How a modern, platform-independent approach using SAML or OIDC authentication provides better user experience and stronger security protections for many organizations 

• Why you should prioritize SaaS solutions with a built-in best practice security posture—like FedRAMP authorization for the U.S. federal government—as you modernize your IT portfolio and harden your cybersecurity posture
