Identity and Access Management (IAM)

How identity and access management creates a foundation for all other security controls.

Identity is the new perimeter. In a world of remote work, cloud services, and mobile devices, controlling who can access what has become the central security challenge. Identity and access management (IAM) systems answer that challenge.

The Core IAM Functions

  • Authentication — Verifying that someone is who they claim to be
  • Authorization — Determining what they are allowed to access
  • Provisioning — Creating and configuring access when someone joins
  • Deprovisioning — Removing access when someone leaves
  • Audit — Recording and reviewing access decisions for compliance

Why IAM Matters

Strong IAM prevents unauthorized access and reduces the blast radius if an attacker compromises an account. It also simplifies compliance by providing proof that access was granted appropriately and unused access was removed.
