Identity and Access Management (IAM)
IAM is a framework that ensures the right individuals have the appropriate access to technology resources. It involves processes, technologies, and policies to manage and secure user identities and their access to systems and data.
Why IAM is Essential
Improved Security:
IAM helps prevent unauthorised access, reducing the risk of data breaches and cyber threats.
Regulatory Compliance:
Many regulations require organisations to control and monitor user access to sensitive data. IAM assists in meeting these compliance standards.
Enhanced User Experience:
Simplifies the login process for users through single sign-on (SSO) and seamless access to applications.
Operational Efficiency:
Automates user provisioning and de-provisioning, streamlining access management processes.
Key Components of IAM
User Identity Management:
Centralised management of user identities, including creation, maintenance, and deletion.
Authentication:
Verifying user identities through methods like passwords, biometrics, and multi-factor authentication (MFA).
Authorisation:
Ensuring users have appropriate permissions to access resources based on roles or policies.
Access Control:
Defining and enforcing policies that govern who can access what information and resources.
Audit and Compliance:
Monitoring and reporting on user access and activity to ensure compliance with policies and regulations.
Benefits of Implementing IAM
Enhanced Security Posture:
Reduces the risk of insider threats and unauthorized access through robust identity verification.
Streamlined User Management:
Simplifies the user lifecycle management process, reducing administrative overhead.
Improved Compliance:
Facilitates adherence to regulatory requirements through detailed access logs and reporting.
Increased Productivity:
Provides users with quick access to necessary resources, enhancing overall productivity.
