One of most significant IT security issues affecting many organizations is managing and securing access to company systems, and external service providers, partners and clients. One of the most recogized method of managing and controlling all this access is a specialized area of security covering Identity and Access Management (IAM). Identity and Access Management (IAM) in enterprise IT is about defining and managing the roles and access privileges of individual network entities (users and devices) to a variety of cloud and on-premises applications. Users include customers, partners and employees; devices include computers, smartphones, routers, servers, controllers and sensors. The core objective of IAM systems is one digital identity per individual or item. Once that digital identity has been established, it must be maintained, modified and monitored throughout each user’s or device’s access lifecycle. 4Squared Solutions consultants have been working with IAM systems for many years, since the first IAM product named DirXML was released by Novell in 2000, this is now MicroFocus Identity Manager. 4Squared Solutions partner with market leading vendors including Micro Focus, and OKTA for identity and access solutions.
