Why  is  IDaaS  Popular?  

• Speed  of  deployment  • Greatly  simplifies  SaaS  SSO    • “Pay  as  you  grow”  • Increased  security  &  control  over  SaaS  • Rapid  rollout  of  new  capabilities  • Mobile  (device  and  location)  friendly  

IDaaS  Adoption  Lifecycle  

1.  "Not  only  no,  but  hell  no“  2.  “Our  passwords  can  stay  on  

premises?”  

3.  "We  can  get  these  capabilities?  That  quickly?  And  for  only  this  much?  And  we  can  streamline  our  infrastructure?"  

4.  "Okay,  our  security  isn't  as  good  as  we  thought  it  was"  

IDaaS  Adopter  Profiles

• Today  •  All  company  sizes  

•  All  vertical  markets  

•  Across  the  board  

IDaaS  Adoption  By  Company  Size  

New  businesses  

 SMBs  

 Enterprises  

•  Cloud  only  •  Well  adopted  

•  Existing  infrastructure  •  Active  adoption  

•  Substantial,  complex  infrastructure    •  Gaining  strong  momentum  

Infrastructure  Inertia  

Factors  That  Drive  IDaaS  Adoption  

• Company  IT  tech  savviness  

• Major  SaaS  app  adoption  

• User  tech  /SaaS  savviness  •  BYOD  adoption  

•  Importance  of  user  experience  

• Security  

Popular  IDaaS  Use  Cases  

• Active  SaaS  usage  • Security-­‐oriented  companies  • Large  unskilled  workforces  with  high  turnover  • Simplest  SaaS  apps  • Streamlined  on  /  off  boarding  

• Large  vendor/temp  user  populations  •  IDaaS  directory  +  SSO  

• Companies  with  password  reset  problems  

Challenging  IDaaS  Use  Cases  

• Complex  on-­‐premises  IAM  environments  • Connectors,  VDS  partial  solutions  • Heavily  regulated  businesses  • Most  IDaaS  solutions  light  on  governance  and  workflow  

Major  IDaaS  Vendors  

Future  of  IDaaS  Capabilities  

• Vendors  becoming  more  alike  • IoT  connectivity  becomes  a  factor  • Deeper  integration  into  on-­‐premises  IAM  • Increase  identity  bridge  capabilities  • Enhanced  mobility  management  • Better  analytics  providing  real  time  access  management  

Other  Thoughts  

• Only  a  small  percentage  of  SaaS  vendors  support  identity  standards  • ~6%  support  federated  SSO  (AuthN)  • Very  low  provisioning  standards  adoption  

• Office  365  is  a  huge  driver  for  SaaS  adoption  • Most  companies  with  existing  federation  take  a  hybrid  approach  

Conclusion  

• “The  floodgates  are  open”  • Rapidly  approaching  mainstream  acceptance  

• Products  continue  to  mature  and  expand  capabilities  

• Center  of  gravity  is  shifting  to  the  cloud  • Vital  that  SaaS  vendors  adopt  identity  standards
