Identity Management (IdM) provides a single product that protects, automates and tracks individuals’ use of account access. The solution enables companies to centrally manage and audit a pool of user identities, which can be accessed by authorized people within their specific business roles. Identity Management thwarts insider threats by providing controlled access to user credentials.
IdM in Gartner Magic Quadrant is known as Identity Governance and Administration, it was formerly known as User Administration and Provisioning. IdM primary focus is on granting the right access to a valid user, and immediate revoke for off-boarding employee to eliminate orphan account. In the background, it does the periodic reconciliation to identify backdoor account, thus it can prevent internal fraud. IdM is the provisioning source for other Access Management family such as Single Sign-On, Web Access Management, and Privileged User Management. While for Identity Federation family, IdM provisions the UserID / authentication to Identity Provider (IdP) and the role / authorization to Service Provider (SP).
IdM best practice is to control the entire internal user (such as employees, outsourcers, and vendors) in all core applications (such as ERP, CRM, SAP, Core Banking, custom Front End), operating systems (Active Directory, Windows, Unix/Linux, AS/400) and critical perimeters (Access Management, Privileged Management, VPN, Gateway, Firewall, etc). And then IdM can be expanded to control other system such as Card Processing System for PCI-DSS compliance, or Financial systems for SOX compliance, or to any other system (such as email, internet proxy, database, network peripheral, cloud services, etc) for operational efficiency.
