What is Identity and Access Management (IAM)?

IAM (Identity and Access Management) refers to a framework that ensures proper organizational access to resources through the use of policies, technology, and guidelines. It involves managing user identities, authentication, authorization, and privileges across systems, applications, and data. It aims to give the right individuals access to the right resources at the right time. IAM solutions enable businesses to control their digital assets while reducing security risks by enabling centralized user administration, enforcing security policies, and facilitating user provisioning and de-provisioning.
