Identity and Access Management

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the discipline of managing who can access what, under which conditions, and how that's enforced across systems. It's one of the highest-leverage areas of security work. Most modern breaches involve identity in some way, and the controls in this space prevent or contain the largest share of incidents.
