What will you do?

Identity and Access Management (IDAM) , is an IT security discipline, framework, and set of solutions for managing digital identities and access to resources. IDAM encompasses the provisioning and de-provisioning of identities, securing and authenticating identities, and authorizing access to resources and/or performing certain actions.

While a person (user) has a singular digital identity, they may have multiple accounts representing them, each with different access controls depending on the resource and context. The overarching goal of IDAM is to ensure that any given identity has access to the right resources (applications, databases, networks, etc.) within the correct context.
