Identity Access Management (IAM)
IAM
Identity and Access Management (IAM) is an Information Security discipline aimed at managing the identities and access of both named and unnamed users who access resources, data, and systems within a given organization.
Due to the diversity of topics related to its scope, it is necessary to identify the business pillars that form part of this context. Currently, we define these scopes as IGA, PAM, AM, and CIAM (though not limited to these). In a metaphorical sense, IAM is like a university degree, and the pillars are the “courses” you need to complete to earn your diploma. For this reason, we refer to the implementation and management of these pillars as the IAM Program.
Gartner defines IAM as:
“[…] the discipline that enables the right individuals to access the right resources at the right times and for the right reasons.”
The IAM Program is the name we use to describe the process of implementing all the steps of IAM discipline pillars. We call it a “Program” due to the time required to reach the expected maturity level, which varies based on several factors, such as complexity.
Identity Governance and Administration (IGA)
IGA
IGA is a set of processes and policies that, when implemented, allow organizations to effectively mitigate risks related to identity-based access, providing greater control and visibility.
Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) is at the core of IT operations, enabling and securing digital identities for all users, applications, and data. It allows companies to automate access to an increasing number of technology assets while managing potential security and compliance risks.
IGA emerged from the need for organizations to comply with new regulatory requirements, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX).
IAM Global helps you analyze, design, and propose the best processes to meet your needs.
Privileged Access Management (PAM)
PAM
Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a high-priority cybersecurity defense mechanism. PAM requires a comprehensive technical strategy based on a Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP) operational model. Key success factors include visibility and control over privileged accounts across all assets.
Traditional PAM controls, such as credential protection and session management, are essential but not sufficient. Adopting just-in-time privilege approaches and managing machine identities are critical, while implementing privileged task automation and advanced analytics is preferable.
Traditional PAM controls, such as credential protection and session management, are essential but not sufficient. Adopting just-in-time privilege approaches and managing machine identities are critical, while implementing privileged task automation and advanced analytics is preferable.
PAM applies to all privileged access scenarios—local and remote, human-to-machine, and machine-to-machine. This makes PAM a critical infrastructure service due to the aggregation of risks related to storing sensitive credentials/secrets and performing privileged operations across different systems. As such, PAM capabilities require well-designed high-availability and recovery mechanisms.
Don’t be reactive—be proactive and implement a PAM solution to protect your high-level privileged accounts. We are here to help!
Key steps to develop and improve a PAM strategy:
Access Management (AM)
AM
Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication methodology that allows a user to log in with a single ID and password to any of several related but independent software systems.
Modern companies are spread across multiple locations, and the recent Covid-19 pandemic has led many businesses to take steps to provide remote access to their employees. Wherever your employees are, managing their access is not just important—it is mandatory for the proper functioning of the organization.
At IAM Global Sec, we can help you select the right access management tool for your organization. We can assist in deployment with the best ROI and provide the necessary access across multiple applications through various devices.
Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM)
CIAM
CIAM (Customer Identity and Access Management) is a part of the Identity and Access Management (IAM) system integrated into applications for external users, such as customers or consumers. The primary goal of CIAM is to manage and control end-user access to digital services. However, it also involves collecting, analyzing, managing, and storing customer data. When handling these processes, security remains the top priority. In this context, CIAM is designed with a high-level perspective.
CIAM should provide a secure, simple, and seamless pathway for external use cases, protecting sensitive data from malicious attacks and preventing data breaches. Achieving these attributes requires identity management, privacy and access management, as well as fraud detection and prevention capabilities.s while managing potential security and compliance risks.
