Key Components of IAM Solutions
Identity and access management relies on key components that protect organizations by enhancing security, simplifying user access, and safeguarding sensitive resources across cloud and on-premises environments.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
SSO allows users to access multiple applications with one set of credentials, improving user experience and enhancing security.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
MFA adds security by requiring users to verify their identity with multiple credentials, such as passwords, codes, or biometrics.
Privileged Access Management (PAM)
PAM secures high-level accounts with administrative access to prevent external and insider threats.
Risk-Based Authentication
This method assesses login attempts based on factors like location or device to determine the level of access or additional security checks.
Federated Identity Management
Users are allowed to access services from multiple trusted partners using a single set of credentials.
Zero-Trust Security
Zero-Trust continually verifies all users and devices. It plays a part in safeguarding cloud and remote work environments.
