IDM and MDM are cybersecurity frameworks that help organizations manage and secure user identities and access to systems and devices. IDM includes features for user provisioning, password management, and access control, while MDM includes features for device provisioning, application management, and remote wipe.
IAM systems provide tools for controlling user access to critical information within an organization. They ensure that the right individuals access the right resources at the right times for the right reasons.
MFA requires more than one method of authentication from independent categories of credentials to verify the user's identity. This typically includes something the user knows (password), something the user has (security token), and something the user is (biometric verification).
SSO is an authentication scheme that allows a user to log in with a single ID and password to any of several related, yet independent, software systems.
PAM systems help control and monitor privileged user access within an organization. They are designed to limit the potential damage that could arise from a breach, misuse, or error by a privileged user.
UBA systems use machine learning algorithms to track, collect, and assess user data to detect potentially malicious activity that deviates from established patterns.
FIM allows for the portability of identity information across different networks and domains. This is particularly helpful for managing identities across various organizations in a trust relationship.
IGA solutions provide the ability to manage digital identities, access rights and policies across multiple systems. They also assist in meeting compliance regulations by providing reports and auditing capabilities.
RBA is a method of applying varying levels of stringency to authentication processes based on the likelihood of a security risk.
Biometric authentication uses unique physical or behavioral characteristics, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or voice recognition, to verify user identities.
An emerging concept that gives individuals control over their digital identities. SSI solutions use blockchain technology to provide secure, decentralized, and user-controlled digital identities.
MDM is a technology used for managing and securing mobile devices that are used in a business setting. It allows for the remote control of settings, apps, and data on the device, and can enforce security policies, manage device features, and even remotely wipe data from devices if necessary.
