Identity and Access Management Strategy
Define a clear IAM strategy that aligns with your organization’s security objectives and regulatory requirements; outlines the goals, roadmap, and desired outcomes of the IAM program; and considers user populations, existing systems, and scalability needs.
- Immature identity and access management (IAM) programs introduce significant vulnerabilities, which can lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and compliance issues, threatening the security and integrity of organizational assets.
- IAM tools provide capabilities that can improve program maturity, report on identities, automate lifecycle management processes, and administer access to business functions. However, these tools require organizations to understand and adjust entitlements according to access policies and functional roles.
