What is Identity and Access Management?
Identity and Access Management — Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a framework of policies, processes, and technologies that ensures the right individuals have appropriate access to technology resources at the right time and for the right reasons.
Identity and Access Management Explained in Detail
IAM is foundational to any security programme. It governs how users are identified, authenticated, and authorised across applications, networks, and cloud environments.
Core IAM Components
- Identity governance — Lifecycle management: provisioning, de-provisioning, access reviews.
- Authentication — Verifying identity through passwords, MFA, SSO, or biometrics.
- Authorisation — Role-based (RBAC) or attribute-based (ABAC) access control.
- Privileged Access Management (PAM) — Extra controls for admin/root accounts.
