Identity and Access Management (IAM)<p>Identity and access management (IAM) is the security discipline that enables the right individuals to access the right resources at the right times for the right reasons.</p> <p>IAM addresses the mission-critical need to ensure appropriate access to resources across increasingly heterogeneous technology environments, and to meet increasingly rigorous compliance requirements. This security practice is a crucial undertaking for any enterprise. It is increasingly business-aligned, and it requires business skills, not just technical expertise.</p> <p>Enterprises that develop mature IAM capabilities can reduce their identity management costs and, more importantly, become significantly more agile in supporting new business initiatives.</p>
