What is IDPs in this context?

I found "Intrusion Detection and Prevention System" but I don't think that's it.

IdP == Identity Provider. A thing that knows what accounts exist, and how to authenticate for them. Contrast: RP (relying party), which needs the IdP to identify who someone is.

Your IdP can be, like, GSuite auth. RP can be any app that believes GSuite when it makes assertions about who you are, via OpenID Connect or SAML.

Ah. That makes more sense.

I knew it had something to do with authentication providers somehow... but I just missed it.

Thanks!

I've not heard of Bitium, but we're super happy with Auth0.

I don't think they are the same at all. Bitium is a single sign on solution for Enterprise. Your employee creates a bitium account and then you Grant access to their bitium account to all the necessary services. Like AWS, Dropbox, whatever. Allows you to automate the onboarding process and also easily manage and cut off access to employees when they leave the company.

I actually haven't used it myself. But I was in the same accelerator as them a few years ago in LA.

Same questions.

Easy to use, many integrations, great design. We chose it over OneLogin which we used before.

Were you using it mostly for your internal apps or mostly to give everyone access to third party apps? What was good about the design?

I'm very familiar with OneLogin and Okta but not at all familiar with Bitium.
