IAM Fundamentals

Manage identities and access.

What Is IAM?

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the discipline of ensuring the right identities have the right access to the right resources at the right time.

It is the backbone of organizational security.

Identification vs Authentication vs Authorization

Three distinct concepts:

  • Identification: claiming who you are (a username).
  • Authentication: proving it (a password or key).
  • Authorization: deciding what you may do.
