IDaaS, or Identity-as-a-Service, is a modern identity management and authentication approach. It is a cloud-based service that centralises identity and access management processes. IDaaS providers offer a range of features to enhance security and simplify identity management.

Zero trust through IDaaS

In an era where traditional perimeter-based security is no longer sufficient, according to cloud security specialists Nexus, the Zero Trust security model has emerged as a paradigm shift. Zero Trust operates on the principle of "never trust, always verify," requiring continuous authentication and authorisation for every user and device, whether inside or outside the network.

IDaaS seamlessly integrates with the Zero Trust framework by providing the necessary tools for continuous verification, regardless of a user's location or access point. IDaaS, with its advanced authentication methods and assurance capabilities for trusted identities, becomes a cornerstone in building a secure digital ecosystem based on Zero Trust principles.

Nexus GO helps uncomplicate identity management

Nexus cloud services, Nexus Go, empower organisations to simplify trusted identity management with ready-to-use standardized workflows for employees, external users, IT devices and applications, and IoT devices and applications. Nexus Go streamlines processes with standardised workflows that can be managed centrally. Automation and user self-service make identity management almost effortless.

The service presents interoperability and swift deployment and so integrates easily with existing systems such as Active Directory, HR repository, or PACS. Support for enrollment protocols such as ACME, CMP, EST, EST-coaps, etc., ensures quick onboarding time through standard services so organisations can deploy scalable identity management services without downtime.

Designed for global scalability, the PKI platform at the heart of the Go services has a proven capacity of issuing 10,000 certificates/ second mitigating downtime risks. Automated certificate lifecycle management significantly reduces the risk of machines and services becoming unavailable due to expired certificates.

Hosted in Europe, Nexus cloud services are offered with compliance to the most stringent security and privacy regulations, such as Common Criteria EAL 4+, TISAX, eIDAS, GDPR, and ISO 27001. Along with global regulations, the company also offers tailored solutions to unique regional requirements allowing it to provide a high level of trust for all parties.
