Identity, from the front door inwards
First the company checks who you are, then what you may open, then who may change everything.
Boxes 1 to 3 go from the front door inwards. Box 4 is how machines prove who they are to each other. Box 5 is the password manager on your own laptop. Tap a title in the diagram to jump to its companies.
Login and sign-in 7 companies
With single sign-on, you log in once to one service, and it confirms who you are to every other application: email, the HR portal and the code repository. A code from your phone is the second proof, so a stolen password alone is no longer enough. This is called multi-factor authentication.
Single sign-on
One login that works for every application at work.

When someone joins, changes jobs or leaves, the HR system tells this software, and it gives, changes or removes that person's access. Removing access when someone leaves is the harder part. Every quarter, managers also confirm who still needs which access. This is called identity governance.

Accounts that can change everything 3 companies
Some accounts can change any setting in any system, so an attacker who steals one can do the most damage. A vault lends such an account to an engineer for one session, records every action, and changes the password afterwards. This is called privileged access management.

A password manager stores all your passwords in one locked vault, so you only have to remember one.
What's changing
Most identities are now software, not people.
A large company now has far more software accounts than employee accounts: programs, cloud services and AI agents that log in to other systems by themselves. Each one needs a login, the right access and a way to be removed, just like an employee. Identity companies are rebuilding their products for these non-human identities.
