Once upon a time, security meant safeguarding a single monolithic application hidden behind a corporate firewall. You had one login page, one perimeter, and one way to authenticate users. But those days are long gone.
Today, in a world powered by cloud-native architectures, applications are composed of loosely coupled, independently deployable microservices that communicate using APIs. These services often span containers, multi-cloud deployments, and hybrid environments, and they can scale up or down in seconds.
This architectural agility fuels innovation and scalability—but it also redefines the security landscape. Traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems, designed for static, centralized systems, no longer suffice.
To secure modern, distributed systems, we need IAM for microservices—an approach that is decentralized, dynamic, and deeply integrated with API security, Zero Trust principles, and cloud-native design patterns.
This is where SecurePass IAM from eMudhra shines.
Let’s explore what modern IAM needs to look like in this new environment, the pitfalls of legacy approaches, and how to effectively secure your microservices and APIs across containers, clouds, and borders.
