What is Identity and Access Management (IAM)?

Identity and Access Management (IAM)

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a framework of policies, technologies, and processes that manage digital identities and control user access to resources within an organisation.

IAM ensures that the right individuals have access to the right resources at the right time for the right reasons. Key components of IAM include user authentication, authorization, and account management.

IAM systems often support single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and role-based access control (RBAC) to enhance security and streamline access management.
