Course: IAM and PAM
IAM (Identity and Access Management) and PAM (Privilege and Access Management) are crucial frameworks in cybersecurity that ensure the right individuals and systems have appropriate access to technology resources. IAM focuses on authentication, authorization, and user identity management across IT environments, while IDAM extends these principles with directory services for centralized identity control. These concepts play a vital role in managing user permissions, enhancing security, and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
