Multiple Identity Providers: Complexity & Solutions Explained #shorts

Where are your secret store? Do you have vault? Do you have LastPass? And then you've got multiple IDPs. You might think you only have one identity provider, like we use Okta at Elastic. That's our identity provider, right? Well, we also use Windows for our workstations, which means you have to use Azure, you have to for Intune. There's a second identity provider cuz Microsoft has their own. We use Gmail for Google Workspace. That means we have three. We have AWS for resources. There's four. We use GitHub for development. There's five. So, there are five completely separate identity providers that we have to manage. And then when you add a new employee to the company, how do they get synchro-

synchronized across all five? How do they get removed from all five if somebody's removed from the company? It's to the fifth power. It insanely insanely increases the complexity.
