Identity and Security

Identity management (IdM) is the set of business processes—and the supporting infrastructure service components—that create, maintain, and use digital identities within legal and policy contexts. The IdM infrastructure is pervasive throughout the organization, supporting both centralized and decentralized administration. Identity management architectures typically need to integrate core components such as user provisioning, logical and physical access management, identity lifecycle management, directory services, identity data content integration technologies, role management, federation, public key infrastructure and identity audit.

Security encompasses IT technologies, standards and processes for managing an organization’s risk. IT assets face risks associated with data leakage, improper access, lack of organizational controls, inadequate awareness and training and inappropriate network configurations, to name a few.
