Why does IAM stand for?

Identity Access Management. It allows you to control who can access resources by authenticating (signing in) and authorizing (giving permissions). Read more about IAM.

Security policies can be implemented across all systems, platforms, applications, and devices by using IT Asset Management (IAM) solutions. By doing so, security breaches can be identified, inappropriate access privileges removed, and access revoked when necessary.

Reducing insider threats- insiders are a major cause of breaches, and IAM can limit the damages caused by them, by ensuring users only have access to the systems they need, and cant elevate privileges without supervision. Discarding weak passwords- The majority of data breaches occur as a result of stolen, default, or weak passwords. IAM systems enforce best practices in credential management, reducing the likelihood that users will use weak or default passwords. Multi-factor security- IAM solutions enable organizations to go from two-factor authentication to three-factor authentication through features such as iris scanning, fingerprint sensors, and face recognition.

Best Cloud Security Platform For IAM Teams

IAM Professional

Why is the IAM team so important? Today innovation and migration to the cloud is happening at lightning speed. Moving operations to the cloud does streamline processes but brings with it a host of risks. Especially for an IAM team as identity and privileged access for hundreds and thousands of human and machine processes. The IAM team is tasked with the gargantuan task of securing access entitlements and cloud security posture of these thousands of identities in a multi cloud environment.

How Cloudanix Stands Out For IAM Governance

We have seen that the DevOps teams and developers are constantly creating new identities and policies while sometimes failing to adhere to the new guidelines or compliance. This makes it difficult to manage access entitlements and even more painstaking to identify resource configuration risks. Cloudanix arms you with secure access to the public cloud environment to understand and govern the risks and permissions to keep your organization secure before they become credible threats. Some of the important core capabilities are listed below and will instill a sense of calm and trust in your enterprise cloud security posture management initiative.
