What is Identity and Access Management and How it Works?

The security architecture and disciplines for managing digital identities are referred to as Identity and Access Management in cybersecurity. It governs individual customers' duties and access privileges, as well as the conditions under which such privileges are granted or refused. Two-factor authentication, multi-factor authentication, single sign-on , and privileged access management are examples of IAM tools. These tools are capable of securely storing identity and profile data.  How Identity and Access Management Works? Identification, authentication, and authorization are the three core functions of identity and access management systems. In other words, IAM enables the right people to use devices, hardware, software applications, or any other IT tool to complete a task. Why Do We Need Identity and Access Management? It reduces security risk : Identity and access management systems can be used to detect unauthorized access privileges, validations, and policy breaches in a sing...
