Identity and Access Management ensures that the right people and job roles in your organization (identities) can access the tools they need to do their jobs. Identity management and access systems enable your organization to manage employee apps without logging into each app as an administrator. Identity and access management systems enable your organization to manage a range of identities including people, software, and hardware like robotics and IoT devices.
Identity & Access Management is not just for employees anymore. Organizations must be able to provide secure access for contractors and business partners, remote and mobile users, and customers.
Identity and Access Management systems can be the sole directory used to create, modify, and delete users, or it may integrate with one or more other directories and synchronize with them. Identity and access management can also create new identities for users who need a specialized type of access to an organization's tools.
Specifying which tools and access levels (editor, viewer, administrator) to grant a user is called provisioning. Identify and Access Management tools allow IT departments to provision users by role, department, or other groupings in consultation with the managers of that department.
Adds another layer of protection by requiring users to present two or more identifying credentials in addition to a username to gain access to applications.
Also known as adaptive authentication, a risk-based authentication solution prompts a user for Multi-factor Authentication only when it detects the presence of higher risk.
Access management ensures a user is granted the exact level and type of access to a tool that they're entitled to. Users can also be partitioned into groups or roles so large cohorts of users can be granted the same privileges.
Identity and Access Management tools generate reports after most actions taken on the platform (like login time, systems accessed, and type of authentication) to ensure compliance and assess security risks.
