The Power of Embracing Open Source IAM Solutions

Information is a power only if you can take action with it. Open Source Identity and Access Management is the core tool you can use for ensuring cybersecurity. To deflect and prevent the majority of data breaches, it is necessary to secure credentials and verify users. Certainly, IAM forms the modern organization’s digital perimeter; strong authentication protocols alone can help keep digital assets secure and keep external and internal threat actors out.

We have even arranged a webinar with Senthil Palaniappan who is the founder and CEO of Sennovate. He has around 25+ years of industry experience and also is an expert in identity and access management. In this webinar, we have talked about open-source IAM solutions and their capabilities in depth. This webinar is mainly created with the purpose of guiding startups and organizations that want to set up an IAM solution from scratch and learn more about it. Watch the full webinar.

Do you want to get started with the open-source identity access management software? Or want to switch from a commercial identity access management platform to an open-source identity access management platform? As well as want to set up an IAM solution for your startup company without burning a hole in your pocket? And how to know which will be the best open-source platform for your organization? If yes, then you are on the right platform. This blog is all about how organizations can embrace the power of open source IAM solutions.

So let’s get started!

First things first, What Is An Open Source IAM?

IAM means managing and administering user identities of an organization and giving it to the right people without having multiple logging sessions.

The term “Open Source” is a code available in public. Open source tools and solutions are also more secure as the code can be inspected and reviewed by anyone.

At Sennovate, we work and collaborate with various IAM partners like Gluu, Keycloak, CyberArk, ForgeRock, Okta, and more to provide services like Identity and Access Management, Security Operations Center (SOC), Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-factor Authentication, Privileged Access Management (PAM), Identity Governance and Administration(IGA) and many more.

In today’s blog, we mainly focus on Gluu.

How Does Open Source IAM Solution Help Startups?

There is constant pressure on the startups to set up the cybersecurity infrastructure. They have to take cybersecurity seriously and set up IAM solutions to grow their organizations. The basic requirement of the startups is quick to the market. So for them, cloud solution works well instead of on-premises. But it depends on the requirement of the startup.

According to Senthil, “with limited products, cloud products like Okta, Adaptive, CyberArk and others work great”. Startups can be started with these products within the minutes. On the other side, some startups want to grow in the marketplace first and then want to focus on revenue. Those kinds of startup companies should look for open source products like Gluu.

The most important benefit of open source is that you don’t incur the license cost. Also, security is the not to ignore factor when it comes to startups. You really can’t just say that you focus much on features and not on security. As once you lose the customer’s trust it is very hard to win it back. Hence, to grow your business, you have to and have to focus on security. Open source has become a game-changer when it comes to empowering security innovation and Gluu is a perfect example of that.
