Identity and Access Management (IAM) enables the right individuals to access the right resources at the right time.
Concerns
Technology environments are increasingly heterogeneous and complex and often require rigorous compliance requirements. In this context, users need up-to-date access to their own resources, while organisations must be sure that such access is limited to the business needs and updated as required. This can lead to high operational costs and compliance efforts, which do not always run smoothly.
Challenges
Maintaining the business data flow while simultaneously managing access has always required administrative and operational attention. The business IT environment is ever evolving however, and difficulties have only become greater with recent disruptive trends like bring-your-own-device (BYOD), cloud computing, mobile apps and an increasingly mobile workforce.
Identity and Access Management Services
Companies need to enable a significant increase in operational agility to support – securely – new business initiatives. In order to do so, companies must develop business-aligned IAM capabilities. IAM technology can be used to initiate, capture, record and manage user identities and their related access permissions in an automated fashion. This ensures that access privileges are granted according to one interpretation of policy and all individuals and services are properly authenticated, authorised and audited.
