Centrify Joins Identity Defined Security Alliance Working Groups to Extend Leadership in Zero Trust, Privileged Access ManagementCentrify, a leading provider of cloud-ready Zero Trust Privilege to secure modern enterprises, today announced it has joined several working groups within the Identity Defined Security Alliance (IDSA), a group of identity and security vendors, solution providers, and practitioners that acts as an independent source of education and information on identity-centric security strategies. Identity Defined Security™ (IDS) puts identity at the center of the security architecture to provide real-time, intelligence-based access to data and applications by integrating Identity and Access Management (IAM) infrastructure with enterprise cybersecurity technologies. An identity-centric approach to enterprise security allows enterprises to optimize their cybersecurity investment while controlling risk as IT infrastructures converge. IDSA working groups are the go-to source for best practices, research, and tools for bringing identity and security together, enabling organizations to reduce the risk of a breach through identity-centric security strategies. Centrify is proud to have joined the following working groups as a member of the IDSA:
