The underlying implication of the very word identity is a sense of uniqueness. But today we live in a world where your virtual identities may be far from unique. So it becomes very important for organisations to assess who is accessing what information and how this is being utilised. At its core identity security is making sure organisations have solutions in place that deliver a comprehensive view of the identity landscape, in order to deliver sustained value and ensure business continuity.

The domain of Identity and Access Management (IAM) deals with managing the complexities around identities, access privileges and the resources being accessed. IAM solutions help an organization ensure that only the ‘Right People’ access the ‘Right Data’ from the ‘Right Place’ at the ‘Right Time’. If any one of these rights turns out wrong, then we have a potential hacking or sabotage attempt at hand, either internal or external.
