Identity & Access

Identity & Access

Identity and Access Management (IAM) encompasses the policies, processes, and technologies used to ensure that the right individuals have appropriate access to organizational resources. This category covers authentication methods, authorization frameworks, privileged access management, and identity governance. Key concepts include single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), role-based access control (RBAC), and the principle of least privilege—all essential components for maintaining security while enabling productivity in modern IT environments.
