Which IdP protocol is required for integration with Tanium Cloud?

Tanium Cloud requires the use of SAML 2.0 or later for integration with Identity Providers (IdPs). SAML, which stands for Security Assertion Markup Language, is a standard protocol that facilitates Single Sign-On (SSO) by allowing users to authenticate once and gain access to multiple applications without the need to log in again.

SAML 2.0 offers enhanced security features and improved support for various use cases compared to its earlier versions, making it the preferred choice for modern applications that prioritize security and user experience. Many enterprises operate under strict compliance and security standards, leading them to adopt the latest protocols to safeguard their identity and access management processes.

Using SAML 2.0 ensures that organizations can leverage robust features such as enhanced metadata support, improved session management, and support for encryption, making it essential for seamless and secure integration with Tanium Cloud.
