Identity and Access Management (IAM) ensures that the right individuals have access to the right resources at the right time. It is a critical component of modern cybersecurity.

IAM systems manage user identities, authentication, and authorization. They help organizations control access to applications, networks, and sensitive information while minimizing unauthorized access risks.

Core Components of IAM:

• User authentication
• Role-based access control (RBAC)
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
• Single sign-on (SSO)
• Privileged access management (PAM)

Implementing a robust IAM strategy improves security, enhances compliance, and streamlines user access management.
