Flourishing demand for Cloud Identity Management Industry

Identity Management (IdM), also known as Identity and Access Management (IAM or IdAM), is a framework of guidelines and technologies to ensure that the right employees in a company have the appropriate access to technology resources. IdM systems come under the umbrella of IT security and data management. Identity and access management systems identify, authenticate, and authorize not only people who use IT resources, but also the hardware and applications that employees need to access. Identity and access management solutions have become more common and critical in recent years as regulatory compliance requirements have become more stringent and complex.

It addresses the need to ensure adequate access to resources in increasingly heterogeneous technology environments and to meet increasingly stringent compliance requirements. The terms "identity management" (IdM) and "identity and access management" are used synonymously in the field of identity access management.

Identity management systems, products, applications, and platforms manage identification and ancillary data about entities, which include individuals, computer-related hardware, and software applications. IdM covers topics such as how users are given an identity, the roles and sometimes the permissions that identity grants, the protection of that identity and the technologies that support this protection (e.g. network protocols, digital certificates, passwords etc.).
