What role does identity federation play in Zero Trust ecosystems?

Identity federation in establishing seamless and secure access across multiple organizations in a zero trust environment plays a crucial role in enabling users to access resources and applications without the need for separate authentication credentials for each organization. By implementing identity federation, organizations can establish trust between different systems, allowing users to leverage their existing identity credentials to securely access resources across various systems and applications. This helps streamline access management processes, enhances user experience, and strengthens security by centralizing identity management and enforcing consistent access policies.
