Getting ready

To make a choice, you'll need to understand the following characteristics of your organization:

• Does your organization already have a federation solution and use claims-based applications inside your organization or cloud-based applications, systems, and/or services?
• Does your organization rely on on-premises multi-factor authentication solutions?
• Is your organization's Security Incident and Event Monitoring (SIEM) solution cloud-aware?
• Do people in your organization use Internet Explorer, Edge, or another browser as their default browser?
