Identity is the new perimeter in cloud, and integrating it correctly is critical. This episode explores federated identity, single sign-on, and the use of identity providers to manage access to cloud control planes. We highlight why strong authentication, minimal privileges, and centralized oversight are essential for reducing risk.The CCSP exam often tests identity integration through questions about federation protocols, trust relationships, and delegation of authority.
