Cloud computing has delivered every organization an ability to forge their own technology destiny and avoid getting locked-in to a single application vendor.

From a user identity perspective, Single Sign On (via standards like SAML and OIDC) and automated user provisioning (via standards like SCIM) provided guardrails for safely integrating new cloud applications without increasing an organization’s attack surface.

But where federated identity has denied numerous opportunities for attackers, it’s also created new ones: motivated adversaries will attempt to exploit the blind spots created in integrations between cloud applications.

Closing these gaps requires a lift from every participant in the ecosystem: identity providers, SaaS apps and the end consumer of these applications. In this session, Okta APJ CSO Brett Winterford provides a checklist for what every CISO should require from their application vendors to secure their SaaS ecosystem.
