Modern evolutions in cybersecurity revolve around two core strategies: the principle of least privilege (PoLP) and the zero trust security model. These are logical, powerful frameworks for protecting critical assets that address different security questions.
SAML stands for “Security Assertion Markup Language” which is a standard protocol used for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, typically a service provider (SP) and an identity provider (IdP) such as Okta or Microsoft Entra. SAML is used to enable single sign-on (SSO) and simplify user access to multiple applications and services within an organization. SAML assertions contain information about the authenticated user and their authorization level, which is passed between the IdP and SP to grant access to the requested resources.
