Identity Access Management (IAM)

Identity Access Management (IAM) is a framework or system that helps businesses manage and control access to their resources, such as computer systems, networks, data, and applications. In simpler terms, IAM is about controlling who has access to what within an organization's digital environment. It involves defining and managing user identities, roles, and permissions, as well as enforcing policies and protocols to ensure that only authorized individuals or systems can access specific resources. IAM systems typically include features such as user authentication, authorization, and user provisioning, as well as capabilities for managing passwords, access levels, and security policies.
