Identity & Access Management (IAM)
What is Identity & Access Management (IAM)?
Identity & Access Management (IAM) includes processes, policies and systems that manage users' digital identities in a secure and streamlined manner. With IAM, organisations ensure that the right users, at the right time, have the right access to the right applications. This is done through identification, authentication and authorisation. Identification establishes who the user is, authentication confirms this identity via passwords or tokens, and authorisation determines what rights the user has within a system. This allows organisations to effectively control and secure access to their data and systems.
Why should you get started with Identity & Access Management (IAM)?
Identity & Access Management provides organisations with a secure and efficient way to manage access to applications and data. In a time of stringent regulations and increased cyber threats, IAM helps companies stay compliant and prevent data breaches. By implementing IAM solutions, companies can increase operational efficiency, reduce costs and improve user experience. It also streamlines the management of user rights and access privileges, reducing manual errors and increasing productivity.
De voordelen
IAM automates user rights management, reducing manual work for IT departments and saving costs.
IAM ensures that only authorised users have access to critical systems and data, reducing the risk of data breaches and cyber attacks.
IAM helps organisations comply with strict laws and regulations, such as AVG and NIS2, by clearly documenting who has access to what information and why.
New employees get the right access quickly, and departing employees are locked out in a timely manner, increasing productivity and reducing security risks.
Automation of password resets and account management reduces the number of helpdesk tickets and saves time and costs.
IAM provides detailed insights into who has access to what, which helps with audits and enforcing strict access policies.
What is smart role mining and why is it important in IAM?
Smart role mining is essential for a successful IAM implementation because it helps discover and define the right roles and access rights within an organisation. In Role Based Access Control (RBAC), users are granted access based on their role, such as function or department. Smart role mining collects and analyses existing access patterns, creating an initial role matrix that is easy to manage. This process makes it possible to efficiently set up future-proof and transparent access management, allowing the organisation to ensure both security and compliance.
