Identity and access management (IAM) involves streamlining digital identity and access management across an enterprise. IAM provides benefits like improved security, reduced helpdesk workloads, and compliance. Best practices for IAM include treating identity as the primary security defense, enabling multi-factor authentication, using single sign-on, and conducting regular access audits.
