An identity and access management (IAM) system can provide a framework that includes the policies and technology needed to support the management of electronic or digital identities. Many of today’s IAM systems use federated identity, which allows a single digital identity to be authenticated and stored across multiple disparate systems.
In addition to managing employees, the use of identity management along with access management enables a business to manage customer, partner, supplier and device access to its systems while ensuring security is the top priority.
