The Right Way to Change Your Identity Service Providers

Consolidating identity service providers isn’t an easy undertaking – but leaving an organization hanging with multiple vendors can be risky. Markus Kalka walks viewers through the consolidation process he oversaw as head of security authentication services at Japanese multinational pharmaceutical company Takeda. “At Takeda, we actually had three identity providers – two on-premises and one on the cloud,” Kalka says. The company had three providers because of previous acquisitions and because it hadn’t completed the migration process – reasons Kalka says are common among companies. “At Takeda, we identified the risks and decided to come up with a brand-new identity provider serving SSO and MFA,” he says.
