Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a business security framework that manages digital identities scattered both inside and outside the enterprises. IAM solutions manage the access to information and applications across enterprises by undertaking security and risks considerations. These solutions facilitate enterprises to create, store, delete, and maintain user identities and their related access permissions, automatically. Thus, it enables individuals to access the right resources at the right time.

Lack of IAM in the organizations may pose a significant threat to compliance and security in general. To mitigate these threats, companies are adopting IAM solutions, which help in identity management, password & access authentication, synchronizing identities between directories, access to sensitive enterprise applications, and data on users’ preferred mobile devices. These solutions not only provide highly secured environment but are also economical in terms of time and cost, operational efficiency, and management control.
