text: Identity Management Challenges refer to the difficulties organizations encounter when implementing and maintaining user identity systems, particularly when using Single Sign-On (SSO) protocols. SSO allows users to access multiple applications with one set of credentials, which simplifies user experience but introduces complexity in identity management. Organizations must ensure that user data is secure and compliant with privacy regulations, like GDPR. Additionally, managing user access rights becomes challenging, as granting or revoking access across numerous applications can be cumbersome. Misconfigured SSO settings can lead to unauthorized access if not properly monitored. Furthermore, organizations may face difficulties in integrating legacy systems with modern SSO solutions, leading to gaps in security. Lastly, providing adequate support for users who forget or lose their credentials can strain IT resources. Overall, these challenges necessitate a robust identity management strategy to protect sensitive information while ensuring seamless access for users.
  - A company like Google faces challenges in managing authentication across its various services, such as Gmail and Google Drive, while maintaining user privacy and security.
  - Universities implementing SSO systems for student and faculty access to different platforms encounter issues with syncing user data across diverse applications.
  - Identity management challenges can lead to increased security risks if not addressed, such as data breaches.
  - Investing in advanced identity governance solutions can help organizations streamline access management and improve compliance.
