Identity management, also known as identity and access management, is a framework of policies and technologies for ensuring that the proper people in an enterprise have the appropriate access to technology resources.
Importance of Identity Security :
Identity Security empowers workers with simple and secure access to business resources using single sign-on and adaptive multi-factor authentication. Passwordless authentication improves the strength of security and reduces the friction involved for end users.
Identity security describes the proactive approach to safely controlling user and system information that is used to authenticate and authorize user identities for access to secure resources. It is an essential aspect of the identity and access management (IAM) space and serves as the cornerstone for security in any organization.
