Identity and Access Management: benefits of its implementation

Written by Ironchip | Jul 5, 2022

The increase in the use of devices and the connection flexibility that they allow today, means that more and more workers access the network from different places and devices. As a result of this increased mobility, effectively securing access to corporate data and networks has become a huge challenge for system administrators, who spend much of their time provisioning, training users, and managing devices. .

The primary goal of identity management is to ensure that only authenticated users have access to the specific applications, systems, or environments for which they are authorized. This includes control over user provisioning and the process of onboarding new users, such as employees, partners, customers... Identity management also includes control over the process of authorizing system or network permissions to existing users and the exclusion of users who are no longer authorized to access the organization's systems.

For this reason, companies must assume that identity and access security is essential to guarantee the integrity of their applications and data, combining measures such as user training, solid company protocols, robust WAFs, or even the implementation of virtual private networks... must be accompanied by measures that facilitate and guarantee good management of identity and services not only for users but also for the administrator of these systems.

Implementing a platform where accesses can be monitored safely, offers security advantages necessary for the "good work" of companies, being able to offer multiple advantages such as:


Security
By channeling all authentication and access requests through a powerful portal, through a secure and encrypted connection, they will be able to have full control of what happens with the company's applications and services.

Efficiency
Full access control and visibility will enable organizations to offer their users a consistent experience and reduced risk of phishing attempts. Managing to reduce the response time to incidents, even allowing the identification of the input vector of the vulnerability in the event of an incident.

Productivity
Having a management platform allows the company in a very simple way for the system administrator to manage access, manage roles, even manage and provision users of the company's security measures in an easy and safe way, in addition to the Reliable IAM solutions help empower employees to strengthen their overall security postures.

Compliance
Compliance and corporate governance concerns continue to be the main drivers of IAM spending. This type of platform allows security measures and policies to be applied to all operating systems, devices and platforms of an organization or facility based on roles and configuring different accesses.
