Why Do Organisations Need Identity and Access Management?
Identity & Access Management
Zeeshan
Organisations need Identity and Access Management (IAM) for several reasons, including:
Security: IAM enables organisations to secure their resources and applications by controlling and monitoring access to them. By setting up access control policies, implementing authentication and authorization mechanisms, and regularly reviewing and revoking access as necessary, organisations can help to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.
Compliance: Many industries and sectors have regulatory requirements that mandate the use of IAM to ensure the protection of sensitive data and resources. For example, healthcare organisations are required to comply with HIPAA regulations, which mandate the use of IAM to protect patient data.
Efficient Management of Digital Identities: IAM enables organisations to efficiently create, maintain, and revoke digital identities for users, which allows for better and more secure management of the people who access resources and systems. It can also save time and cost for IT support and Human resources departments.
Productivity: IAM can improve productivity by enabling users to access the resources and applications they need quickly and easily. For example, by implementing single sign-on solutions, organisations can streamline the process of logging in to multiple systems and applications.
Auditing and reporting: IAM solutions usually have a built-in feature of logging and auditing all the activities that are performed by users. This allows IT teams to track access, detect and prevent suspicious activities, in addition to providing reporting capability that enables organisations to track access, detect and prevent suspicious activities.
Overall, IAM is essential for any organization that wants to keep its resources and data secure, comply with regulatory requirements and stay productive. By implementing effective IAM practices, organisations can protect their resources, ensure compliance, and prevent cyber threats.
