Identity and Access Management (IAM)?is a system that allows organizations to manage digital identities of their employees, customers, and other stakeholders. It helps ensure that only authorized individuals have access to the resources and systems they need to perform their job duties or access certain services.
?as the “discipline that enables the right individuals to access the right resources at the right times for the right reasons.”?
IAM systems are an essential component of an organization's security and compliance strategy, as they help protect sensitive information and systems from unauthorized access. They can also help organizations streamline their operations, improve efficiency, meet various regulatory requirements and more.?
Overall, IAM is a vital tool for organizations to secure their assets and ensure that only authorized individuals can access the resources and systems they need.
On the NetIQ Identity & Access Management team, we believe that “identity powers security.” It should be central to your decision making. We cover everything from privilege discovery through least-privilege delegation and credential vaulting, to change monitoring and activity tracking. The key is identity, which is vital to everything we do.

Identity and Access Management (IAM) enables enhanced compliance. Many regulations and industry standards, such as?General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)?and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA), require organizations to implement robust IAM systems. By implementing IAM, organizations can more easily meet these requirements.
The Identity and Access Management (IAM) framework will include a variety of policies, procedures, and technologies that are unique to an organization to help manage identities and access services.
This can include the lifecycle of an employee. For example, when a new employee is added to a system, a new digital identity will be created and the automated system will request information such as their name, contact information, job role and more. As the relationship begins with the employee and organization, so does IAM’s?Full Identity Lifecycle Management?process:?
By implementing an IAM system and following established policies, organizations can reduce the risk of human error and streamline their operations to improve efficiency. IAM systems can automate tasks such as employee onboarding and offboarding, which can help reduce the workload for IT staff. By leveraging the many capabilities of IAM systems, organizations can better manage their digital identities and access to resources, resulting in improved efficiency and reduced risk.
Workforce identity
Using IAM to manage workforce identities enables an efficient, work‐from‐anywhere workforce. You can control your level of trust through continuous risk evaluation across the whole user session, start to finish.
Customer identity
Customer (or consumer/citizen) identity and access management (CIAM) focuses on managing and controlling external (customer) parties' access to a business’s applications and digital services. CIAM enables a secure, seamless user experience. It’s recommended to use a platform that offers purpose‐based controls for customers engaging with your services and resources.
Zero trust?and IAM go hand in hand when it comes to protecting your organization's systems and data from potential threats.?What is zero trust? Zero trust is a security model that assumes that all users and devices are untrusted until proven otherwise, and IAM is the system that helps you securely manage these digital identities.?By including IAM in your zero-trust strategy you are protecting your organization from potential threats and enhancing your overall security posture.
. NetIQ’s purpose is to help organizations protect sensitive information by automating privileges and access controls to ensure appropriate access to applications, data, and resources. In other words, we assist our customers in implementing IAM systems that help them achieve zero trust.
