Zero Trust is a security framework that does not rely on the implicit trust afforded to interactions behind a secure network perimeter. Instead, it uses the principles of explicit verification, least privileged access, and assuming breach to keep users and data secure while allowing for common scenarios like access to applications from outside the network perimeter.

IAM is part of the IT security and data management framework. IAM gives secure access to company resources such as emails, databases, data, and applications…to verified entities, ideally with a bare minimum of interference. The goal is to manage access so that the right people can do their jobs and the wrong people, like hackers and bad actors (internally & externally), are denied access.

However, secure access must extend beyond employees using corporate owned computers, it must also include contractors, vendors, business partners, remote offices, remote clinics and other locations, and people accessing company resources from a personal device. IAM can ensure that each person who should have access has the right level of access at the right time no matter the equipment used.

Implementing an IAM framework, your organization can quickly and accurately verify a person’s identity and that they have the necessary permissions to use the requested resource.  IAM is a vital part of your IT cloud strategy.
