Google Cloud Identity
Google Cloud Identity is a cloud-based IAM platform provided by Google Cloud. It is designed to help organizations manage user access to cloud and on-premises resources, devices, and applications. With Cloud Identity, administrators can create and manage user accounts, set up and enforce policies for access and authentication, and monitor and audit user activity. The platform also includes features such as single sign-on (SSO) and multifactor authentication (MFA) to help ensure the security of user accounts and protect against unauthorized access. In addition, Cloud Identity integrates with other Google Cloud products, such as Google Workspace, GCP, and Google Identity Platform (formerly Google Cloud Identity for Customers and Partners), to provide a unified and comprehensive approach to IAM.
