In a nutshell, identity and access management (IAM) is a framework of business processes, policies, and technologies that facilitates the management of electronic or digital identities. IAM framework enables IT managers, to control user access to critical information within their organizations. Today, many systems are used for IAM, including single sign-on systems, two-factor authentication, multifactor authentication, and privileged access management.

With the right blend of innovation in them, these technologies provide the ability to securely store Identity and profile data and data governance functions to ensure that only necessary and relevant data is shared.

Over the years, the advancements in IAM have been numerous and doubling. Some of the most advanced IAM systems feature biometrics, behavior analytics, and AI are all well suited to the rigors of the new security landscape.

Amidst the pandemic and global online culture expansion, businesses leaders and IT departments are under increased regulatory and organizational pressure to protect access to corporate resources. As a result, they can no longer rely on manual and error-prone processes to assign and track user privileges. Businesses have also increased the adoption of IAM to automate these tasks and enable granular access control and auditing of all corporate assets on-premises and in the cloud.
