Solutions Review Presents Our IAM Video Crash Course

Solutions Review presents our IAM Video Crash Course, courtesy of the Solutions Review Explores and Solutions Review Defines series. 

It remains unclear how long the United States needs to stay socially distant; best estimates put the reopening date well past May 1. Therefore, most of us shall need to stay at home. However, working from home can offer plenty of opportunities for growth and improvement. In fact, this break in normal workflows allows cybersecurity professionals to catch up on their identity and access management (IAM) skills. Alternatively, social distancing may offer your IT security team the time to gather resources and information for selecting a new identity management solution. 

In that spirit, Solutions Review proudly presents an IAM Video Crash Course. These videos can help you refresh your basic identity management and cybersecurity knowledge or help make strong IT decisions.

The Solutions Review IAM Video Crash Course

What is Privileged Access Management?

For the first entry in our IAM Video Crash Course covers the core of many identity management policies: PAM. Privileged access management both secures and monitors the most powerful users in your network; if their credentials fall into the wrong hands, then your whole system may end up compromised.

What is IGA? (Identity Governance and Administration)

One of the most neglected aspects of identity management and cybersecurity is identity governance and administration. IGA helps monitor and restrict privileges held by all users; additionally, it can restrict privileges to certain predefined roles in the infrastructure. In fact, identity governance and administration can completely change the effectiveness of your cybersecurity.

What is Biometric Authentication? 

Biometric authentication represents the newest branch of identity management, and for good reason; study after study confirms that single-factor authentication (especially passwords) inadequately protects enterprise assets and logins. Biometrics represent a much stronger authentication option, as they are almost impossible to steal or forget.

The Evolution of IAM (Identity Access Management)

Curious about how the demands on identity management changed over the years? Or about how identity management’s capabilities evolved to meet those new demands. This entry in our IAM Video Crash Course covers all of that material and more.

What is Multifactor Authentication?

Speaking of biometric authentication and IAM evolution, we take a brief look at multifactor authentication in this video. Multifactor authentication offers one of the most powerful tools in the cybersecurity arsenal against hackers; every factor between an access request and the database makes a breach that much less likely.

What is Identity Federation? 

This special entry in our IAM Video Crash Course offers perspective on another misunderstood and undervalued aspect of identity management. Identity federation is not the same thing as single sign-on (SSO), although it belongs in a similar category. In fact, it can help with your third-party IAM and your more remote workers in the same layer of identity security.
