What is IAM?
The IAM acronym stands for Identity and
Access Management.
It is the discipline or framework that defines and manages the identities of users
and access permissions. IAM involves policies, protocols, technologies and processes
that define the roles of individual entities within the network while managing their
access privileges to the diverse Cloud, network or on-premise resources and
applications.

Identity and Access Management solutions ensure that only authorised users gain

users could be customers, employees or partners, while the resources could be
devices like smartphones, IoT, computers, routers, servers etc., or digital assets
like software, data, files, etc.
