Identity & Access Management

IAM, or identity and access management, is a framework of corporate procedures, laws, and technological advancements that makes it easier to manage digital or electronic identities. Information technology administrators can restrict user access to sensitive data within their businesses by putting an IAM architecture in place. Authentication methods used for IAM include single sign-on, two-factor, multi-factor, and privileged access management

Additionally, these technologies offer the capability of safely storing identification and profile data as well as data governance features to guarantee that only information that is required and pertinent is shared. IAM systems may be set up on-site, made available by a third-party vendor under a subscription-based cloud model, or set up in a hybrid approach

Challenges of Identity & Access Management:

There is more organizational and governmental pressure on business executives and IT teams to safeguard access to company resources. As a result, they can no longer allocate and track user credentials using manual and prone to mistake methods. These processes are automated by IAM, which also makes it possible to audit and regulate granular access to all company assets both on-site and in the cloud

What to do?

In order to comply with strict IAM compliance regulations and strengthen your cloud security posture, you’ll need to discover, prioritize, and continually monitor for frequent and hidden identity and access management misconfigurations throughout your public cloud estate
