IAM: Security based on Access Management
Hybrid and globally networked working models can lead to numerous security risks – and raise the question for companies: How can we efficiently protect our IT systems, business-critical information and user accounts?
Effective protection of user identities, devices and services can only be provided by comprehensive Identity and Access Management (IAM).
The implementation of suitable IAM strategies and technologies is therefore essential to ensure the integrity and availability of company resources and to minimize risks.
This is how IAM supports security and compliance:
- Identity and Access Management ensures that users and devices have secure access to the company’s IT resources and that they only have access rights that are strictly necessary.
- Managing digital identities and controlling access to systems and data with the help of an IAM are important components of an organization’s cyber security strategy.
- An effective IAM solution meets the company’s individual requirements, integrates seamlessly into the IT environment and monitors systems around the clock.

Our IAM Portfolio
Our IAM Basis offers secure access controls: This ensures that only authorized users have access to your critical systems and data.
- Governance and Visibility:You obtain complete control and overview of your digital ecosystem.
- (Automated) Identity Lifecycle:The IAM must integrate seamlessly with your HR system. It must ensure that the user accounts of new employees can be created and managed without delay – and that the access rights of people who leave the company are revoked immediately.
- SSO Access Management:Single sign-on simplifies access to applications for employees, partners and customers.
- Advanced Authentication:IAM should offer passwordless and risk-based authentication options.
- Seamless Integration:The IAM must fit harmoniously into your existing IT systems and organizational structures. Ready-made connectors or customized individual integrations can be used for this.
- Right Access, Right Time:To ensure authorized and secure access to necessary information, you should adjust access rights according to predefined roles.
It is advisable to compare IAM, IGA, Access Management and PAM and, if necessary, to combine them in order to find the most suitable approach for your own requirements.
A strategic IAM is essential to increase security and compliance and improve the efficiency of operational processes. It unifies identity management, enables precise access controls and optimizes user experiences across all systems. IAM helps to assign access rights according to defined guidelines, which ensures efficient user identification and authorization.
In the IAM context, the term "identities" refers to the digital credentials and attributes that uniquely identify a person or a service in IT systems.
IAM is an elementary concept that encompasses identity management and access management. Access management as a sub-area of IAM focuses exclusively on controlling access to resources.
PAM is an IAM sub-area that deals with the increased risks and security requirements of privileged accounts. The focus is on privileged accounts that have extensive access to critical systems and data. PAM solutions help to monitor and control privileged access by restricting its use and ensuring that access is only granted under strict conditions.
Identity Governance and Administration includes functions such as access certification, policy management, role-based access control (RBAC), reporting and compliance management. IGA solutions provide a framework to define, verify and manage access rights and ensure adherence to access policies and compliance requirements.
IAM, PAM and IGA ensure comprehensive management of user identities and access rights. This provides protection against unauthorized access and data leaks and supports adherence to compliance requirements. The specific controls offered by each approach enable companies to increase their security and ensure efficient processes.
