Identity and Access Management: High-level Conceptual Framework
Abstract
Information security is shifting from a traditional perimeter-based approach to an identity-based
approach where the organization's boundaries are where their digital identities exist. The
organization has multiple stakeholders having access to various organization resources. Systems and
applications are part of organization resources that help them achieve their business goals. These
systems and applications are internally or externally exposed to allow all stakeholders to have
seamless access, thus making identity and access management a big challenge. Identity and Access
Management (IAM) is a fundamental part of information security. It plays a critical role in keeping
the organization's information security posture resilient to cyber attacks. This paper will identify
various components of an IAM solution that are essential and should be considered while
implementing and assessing the IAM solution and provides a high-level IAM framework that will
allow information security professionals to assess the IAM security posture of an organization.
