Market Share: Identity as a Service (IDaaS), 2025, Worldwide

With changing security fabric, business processes, and increasingly rigorous compliance requirements, there is a need for dynamic and flexible identity management solutions in place of existing static implementations that were designed to work with on-prem systems and applications. An IDaaS solution takes a holistic and unified approach to IAM, providing a technology to manage identities, accounts, systems, and associated data without infrastructural investments, ensuring faster deployment times, better time-to-value, higher scalability, and flexibility. 

The platform also serves as a backbone for API deployments and identity services, enabling organizations to easily develop and deploy add-on capabilities or customize solutions to suit specific use cases. IDaaS helps companies of all scales and sizes embrace the zero-trust approach to security, which requires continuous analysis and control of IAM solutions. Quadrant Knowledge Solutions defines Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) as “a software suite that protects endpoint devices (desktop, servers, etc.) from various types of threats, including malware and other security vulnerabilities.” The consolidated suite identifies security threats and provides remediation capabilities along with the ability to share data over the network. A majority of IDaaS suites are cloud-managed, enabling continuous monitoring and collects endpoint activity data and can perform remote remediations, regardless of whether the endpoint is on the corporate network or off-site. 

Identity as a Service (IDaaS) is a complete Identity & Access Management (IAM) solution delivered as a cloud-based SaaS that is packaged and managed by a third-party vendor. IAM combines Access Management with Identity Governance & Administration (IGA). Access Management is a set of processes that assigns the required access to the right identities, while IGA makes sure that the access provided is in line with the compliances and policies of the organization.
