Identity and Access Management (IAM)

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a critical component of IT system security, focusing on controlling access to resources based on user roles and privileges. IAM encompasses concepts such as Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and Privileged Access Management (PAM). IAM platforms handle user identities, access management, and directory services, providing a centralized repository for managing user and resource information. IAM plays a crucial role in safeguarding sensitive information and assets, serving as the first line of defense.
