Strata Identity, the Identity Orchestration company, today announced the availability of “Identity Orchestration For Dummies,” written by Eric Olden, CEO of Strata Identity who is one of the most influential minds in identity management, and co-author Heidi King, Content Strategy lead at Strata Identity.

In a world where digital identities are the new currency, the book is a comprehensive guide for CISOs, identity architects, and anyone looking for a roadmap to modernize and secure identity and access management from legacy to cloud-based identity systems without forklift upgrades that take years and cost millions of dollars.

Traditional identity management tools weren’t built for today’s complex, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. As organizations juggle legacy on-premises identity systems and modern cloud identity providers, the need for a streamlined, secure, and scalable approach to identity and access management (IAM) that can bridge the old and the new has reached a tipping point. Identity Orchestration For Dummies breaks down the revolutionary concept of Identity Orchestration and how it can unify and simplify identity management across any cloud or on-premises system—without the need to rewrite application code.

Unpacking Identity Orchestration

From modernizing legacy applications to ensuring identity continuity and compliance across global infrastructures, Identity Orchestration For Dummies is packed with real-world use cases, expert tips, and innovative strategies that can be implemented immediately. CISOs and identity architects will find actionable insights and practical solutions to their most pressing IAM challenges.

But it's not just about the “how”— it's about the “why.” Identity Orchestration For Dummies makes a compelling case for why Identity Orchestration is the future of IAM, providing the blueprint for building a resilient, future-proof identity framework that can adapt to digital transformation challenges that are not yet on the horizon.

About Strata Identity

Strata Identity is the leader in Identity Orchestration for multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud. The orchestration recipe-powered Maverics platform enables organizations to integrate and control incompatible identity systems with an identity fabric that does not change the user experience or require rewriting apps. Maverics also provides identity continuity that prevents application outages by failing over to an alternate on-premises or cloud IDP when the primary IDP goes offline. By decoupling applications from identity, Maverics makes it possible to implement modern authentication, like passwordless, and enforce consistent access policies without refactoring apps. The company’s founders created the IDQL (Identity Query Language) standard and Hexa open-source software for multi-cloud policy orchestration and are co-authors of the SAML standard for SSO federation.
