Identity as a Service (IDaaS): A cloud-based service that provides identity and access management capabilities, such as authentication and authorization, to organizations. This concept is used by organizations to outsource their identity and access management needs and to benefit from the scalability and flexibility of the cloud. Examples of IDaaS providers include Microsoft Azure Active Directory and Okta.
