What Does Identity and Access Management Mean?

IAM (identity and access management) ensures that the right people and job responsibilities (identities) in your business have access to the tools they need to execute their tasks. Identity management and access management systems allow your company to manage staff apps without having to log in as an administrator to each one. Your organisation can manage a variety of identities, including people, software, and hardware, such as robotics and IoT devices, with identity and access management solutions.

Customers, partners, and workers are examples of users, while computers, smartphones, routers, servers, controllers, and sensors are examples of devices. The main goal of IAM systems is to provide a single digital identity for each person or item. After establishing a digital identity, it must be maintained, adjusted, and monitored throughout the access lifecycle of each person or device.

How Does IAM Work?

Identity management solutions generally perform two tasks:

IAM verifies that a user, piece of software, or piece of hardware is who they claim to be by checking their credentials against a database. Traditional username and password solutions are less secure and adaptable than IAM cloud identity systems.

Only the appropriate level of access is granted by identity access management systems. IAM provides for limited slices of access to be portioned out, such as editor, viewer, and commenter in a content management system, rather than a login and password granting access to the complete software suite.
