Identity and Access Management, commonly known as IAM, is a foundational framework of policies and technologies designed to ensure that the right individuals (or services) have the appropriate access to technology resources. At a high level, IAM systems manage digital identities and control what those identities can do within an organization's IT environment. This involves identifying, authenticating, and authorizing users and systems, and then auditing those actions. Think of it as the digital gatekeeper and record-keeper for all your organization's sensitive information and systems.
