A combination of public and private cloud services that allows for the management of non-human identities across diverse environments.
Description
Hybrid cloud-based solutions refer to a computing environment that combines both public and private cloud infrastructures, enabling organizations to manage their data and applications across multiple platforms. In the context of Non-Human Identity Management (NHIM), these solutions are particularly beneficial as they allow for the seamless integration and management of identities that are not tied to human users, such as devices, applications, and services. This is crucial in environments where IoT, microservices, and automation play significant roles. A hybrid approach empowers organizations to leverage the scalability and cost-effectiveness of public clouds while maintaining control and security over sensitive data in private clouds. Furthermore, it facilitates compliance with regulatory requirements by allowing sensitive non-human identities to be managed in private environments while utilizing the flexible resources of public clouds for less critical workloads. Overall, hybrid cloud-based solutions provide the versatility needed to adapt to rapidly changing technological landscapes while ensuring robust identity management frameworks.
Examples
- Managing IoT devices across public and private cloud infrastructures.
- Integrating cloud-based applications with on-premises identity management systems.
Additional Information
