Amazon Cognito vs Virtusa Identity & Access Management comparison

Amazon Cognito is a simple user identity and data synchronization service that helps you securely manage and synchronize app data for your users across their mobile devices. You can create unique identities for your users through a number of public login providers (Amazon, Facebook, and Google) and also support unauthenticated guests. You can save app data locally on users’ devices allowing your applications to work even when the devices are offline. With Amazon Cognito, you can save any kind of data in the AWS Cloud, such as app preferences or game state, without writing any backend code or managing any infrastructure. This means you can focus on creating great app experiences instead of having to worry about building and managing a backend solution to handle identity management, network state, storage, and sync.

Employee awareness plays a big role in countering data breaches originating from stolen or weak user credentials. Strengthening the internal defence mechanism is only one piece of the security puzzle. The need of the hour is proactive management of security vulnerabilities that are being rampantly exploited by cyber criminals. While countering these potential threats, organizations walk a tightrope. They are not only bound to provide the right access to the right people but are also obligated to comply with stringent data security regulations. To add to the woes, they operate in a multi-vendor environment where multiple solutions are at play, further complicating control requirements.
