IAM And its Products

-

Identity and access management or IAM is a security network framework that is designed for verification of identities for the management of electronic and digital identities. It is an authentication process of the IT sector that helps to keep track and check on the access grant permission of users to critical information. The working mechanism of IAM includes - single sign-on systems, two-factor authentication, multi-factor authentication, and privileged access management. This security system helps the users to keep a record of securely stored identity and profile data. 

Having a look at the security systems getting trespassed, IAM was introduced as it has a lot of verification components for users to go through which henceforth makes sure no one gets the permission to the information without providing their significant credentials and without showing their proper identities. Additionally,  IAM has a lot of other features as well, namely - biometrics, behavior analytics, and AI. 

The products of Identity and Access management offer role-based access control to the systems and data. An Identity and Access Management system do the following tasks here -

Capture and record user info login information.

Manage the enterprise database of the user identities.

Control the assignment and removal of access privileges.

This means that every user, device, and application trying to access resources on a private network must be verified and authenticated, regardless of their location or network environment. The model challenges the traditional notion of "trust but verify" by implementing strict access controls and continuous verification processes.

The Zero Trust Model has emerged as a powerful alternative to traditional security models in the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape. It challenges the long-standing notion of Trust within a network and offers a more proactive, comprehensive approach to safeguarding sensitive data.  This article conducts a comparative analysis of Zero Trust and traditional security models, shedding light on what sets Zero Trust apart and why it is gaining momentum. Traditional Security: The Perimeter Defense Paradigm The idea of a network perimeter has long been a cornerstone of conventional security approaches. Trust is often assumed inside the network, while external entities are treated as potential threats. Critical characteristics of traditional security include: Firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) - They serve as a perimeter defense and stop unlawful entry. To identify insider risks, though, they might have trouble. VPN and Network Segmentation -   These technologies crea...
