Compliance and security controls for sensitive workloads
Identity and Access Management (IAM) security is an essential part of overall IT security
that manages digital identities and user access to data, systems, and resources within an
organization. IAM security includes the policies, programs, and technologies that reduce
identity-related access risks within a business. IAM programs enable organizations to
mitigate risks, improve compliance, and increase efficiencies across the enterprise.
IAM
is a cybersecurity best practice and ensures greater control of user access. By identifying,
authenticating, and authorizing users, while prohibiting unauthorized ones, IAM security
improves the efficiency and effectiveness of access management throughout the business.
Unique passwords:-The most common type of digital authentication is the
unique password. To make passwords more secure, some organizations require longer or complex
passwords that require a combination of letters, symbols and numbers.
Pre-shared key (PSK):-PSK is another type of digital authentication where
the password is shared among users authorized to access the same resources think of a branch
office Wi-Fi password.
Behavioral authentication :-When dealing with highly sensitive information
and systems, organizations can use behavioral authentication to get far more granular and
analyze keystroke dynamics or mouse-use characteristics.
Biometrics:-Modern IAM systems use biometrics for more precise
authentication. For instance, they collect a range of biometric characteristics, including
fingerprints, irises, faces, palms, gaits, voices and, in some cases, DNA.
