Identity Access Management (IAM): A framework of policies and technologies that ensure the right individuals access the right resources at the right times for the right reasons. It involves tools for controlling user access to critical information within an organization, including systems for user identity verification, access rights and levels, and tracking and reporting on user activities. This aids in minimizing risk and helping organizations meet compliance regulations.
