What Are Identity and Access Management
Leading identity and access management providers now combine traditional directory services with advanced capabilities like risk-based authentication and identity analytics.
Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions are security frameworks that ensure the right individuals access the right resources at the right time. They manage user identities, authenticate users, control access based on roles, and monitor user activity. IAM helps organizations safeguard sensitive data, streamline user provisioning, and meet compliance requirements by preventing unauthorized access and enforcing security policies across cloud, on-premise, and hybrid environments.
- Application security assessment (static and dynamic testing)
- Cloud application security for SaaS and PaaS environments
- Runtime protection for production applications
- Application security monitoring and threat detection
Why IAM is Critical for Modern Cybersecurity
Expanding Attack Surfaces
With 81% of breaches involving compromised credentials, identity and access management services are essential for protecting against account takeover attacks.
Cloud Security Imperatives
Identity governance and administration solutions ensure consistent security policies across hybrid cloud environments and SaaS applications.
Compliance Requirements
Regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and SOX mandate robust access control management for sensitive data protection.
Digital Transformation Challenges
Modern workforces require secure access from any location while maintaining strict security controls.
