Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a critical component of any organization's security infrastructure. It is a set of policies, procedures, and technologies that ensure that only authorized individuals have access to the organization's resources. This includes both physical resources such as buildings and equipment, as well as digital resources such as data and applications.
