Identity Federation

Definition of Identity Federation as it relates to Technology, Network Security, Identity and Access Management

Identity Federation refers to the practice of linking disparate identity management systems and technologies together, enabling users to access multiple services using a single set of credentials across different trust domains. This process facilitates seamless authentication and authorization experiences while maintaining security and privacy in the realm of Technology, Network Security, and Identity and Access Management. By allowing organizations to leverage each other's identity infrastructure, Identity Federation helps reduce costs, improve user experience, and promote interoperability among various systems and applications.
