Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with 283 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time. The Identity & Authentication Security team at Netflix is a central security team that supports the Netflix workforce and partners by creating and operating Identity & Authentication (ex. SSO, MFA) services for users & applications. Our Enterprise IAM use cases continue to become more complex as we increase investment in Netflix Original content production ecosystems, including Live, Events, Gaming and beyond. Our workforce and partners are global, and they access our resources with different patterns from a variety of locations and devices.
