All you need to know about Identity and Access Management.
IBM has a long history in the field of Identity and Access Management (IAM). The company has been providing IAM solutions for over two decades and has a range of products and services designed to help organizations manage and secure user access to systems and data.
One of IBM's earliest IAM offerings was its Tivoli Access Manager (TAM) product, which was released in the late 1990s. TAM was designed to help organizations control user access to network resources and applications and was widely adopted by large enterprises.
IBM Tivoli Identity Manager (ITIM) is an identity and access management (IAM) solution developed by IBM. It is designed to help organizations manage and control user access to systems and applications.
Also, ITIM is a comprehensive IAM platform that provides a range of features and capabilities, including user provisioning, password management, access request and approval workflows, and identity governance. It can be integrated with other IBM security products, as well as third-party systems, to provide a unified approach to IAM across an organization.
ITIM was originally developed as a standalone product, but it has since been integrated into IBM's broader IAM product portfolio. It is now known as IBM Security Identity Manager (ISIM). Despite the name change, the core functionality of the product remains the same.
In the following years, IBM continued to develop and expand its IAM offerings. It released several new products, including IBM Security Access Manager (ISAM) and IBM Security Identity Manager (ISIM), which added additional features and capabilities to its IAM portfolio.
Today, IBM offers a range of IAM solutions, including single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and identity governance. The company's IAM products are used by organizations in a variety of industries, including healthcare, financial services, and government.
