IAM Case Studies
The client, a multinational organization, had been using Okta as their primary identity and access management (IAM) solution for several years. However, due to a strategic organizational decision, they decided to migrate their IAM infrastructure from Okta to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
A leading provider of media optimization solutions recognized the need for a robust Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution to strengthen their security framework and streamline user access to their platform.
We all play multiple roles in our lives and all these roles come with their own set of privileges, which when followed with traceability, give us the ability to perform all our roles in a compliant manner.
Knowledge base
What is IAM?
IAM systems consist of various tools and technologies, including single sign-on systems, two-factor authentication, multi factor authentication, and privileged access management, that are designed to enhance security
and streamline access control processes. These technologies enable secure storage and management of identity and profile data, while also ensuring compliance with data governance policies.
Overall, IAM is a critical aspect of modern-day information security and plays a vital role in protecting organizations from potential cybersecurity threats. By establishing a robust IAM framework, businesses can effectively manage access to sensitive information, reduce the risk of data breaches, and maintain regulatory compliance.
IAM vs PAM vs IGA
IAM, PAM, and IGA are all related to managing user identities and access to resources within an organization, but they have different scopes and purposes:
Overall, IAM is a critical aspect of modern-day information security and plays a vital role in protecting organizations from potential cybersecurity threats. By establishing a robust IAM framework, businesses can effectively manage access to sensitive information, reduce the risk of data breaches, and maintain regulatory compliance.
- IAM (Identity and Access Management): is a broader term that encompasses all processes, policies, and technologies used to manage user identities and their access to applications and systems. It involves managing user authentication, authorization, and access control across an entire organization.
- PAM (Privileged Access Management): is a subset of IAM that focuses on managing privileged accounts and access to critical systems and data. PAM is designed to reduce the risk of data breaches by ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive resources.
- IGA (Identity Governance and Administration): is another subset of IAM that focuses on managing user identities and access rights from a compliance and risk management perspective. IGA solutions typically include features for identity lifecycle management, access certification, and audit reporting.
In summary, while IAM is a broader concept that encompasses all aspects of identity and access management, PAM and IGA are more specialized solutions that focus on managing privileged access and governance and compliance, respectively.
Authentication vs Federation vs SSO
Authentication, Federation, and Single Sign-On (SSO) are related concepts in the field of identity and access management (IAM). Here’s a breakdown of each term:
- Authentication: Authentication verifies the identity of a user or entity accessing a system or resource. It involves validating credentials like usernames, passwords, or biometrics to ensure authorized access. An identity provider or system typically handles authentication by checking user identity information.
- Federation: Federation in IAM enables users from different systems or organizations to access resources without separate accounts. It involves sharing identity and security information between trusted parties, allowing users to authenticate once and access multiple services without re-authentication.
- Single Sign-On (SSO): Single Sign-On (SSO) enables users to authenticate once and access multiple applications or systems without re-entering credentials. It eliminates repetitive authentication steps, providing a seamless user experience. SSO can be achieved through federation, where the authenticated session is shared across multiple service providers, eliminating the need for re-entering credentials.
In summary, authentication is the process of verifying user identity, federation enables trusted identity sharing between systems or organizations, and SSO allows users to access multiple resources with a single authentication event. Federation can be a means to achieve SSO by establishing trust and sharing authentication across multiple systems or domains.
