Identity and Access Management(IAM)


Identity and Access Management
Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a crucial aspect of cybersecurity, particularly in the realm of Information Technology (IT) and biometric solutions. We are pioneers in face recognition and Iris recognition with 4 industrial patents and 3 patents. We have several hardware deigned around it to provide non-intrusive access management with user audit, whitelist and blacklist of applications etc.,
Matrix IAM framework of policies, technologies, and processes that ensure only authorized individuals or systems have access to specific resources within a network or organization. The primary goal is to manage and secure digital identities and their permissions, safeguarding sensitive data, systems, and applications from unauthorized access.
Key components of IAM include:
-
Identification: Verifying the identity of users, devices, or systems accessing resources through unique identifiers such as usernames, passwords, biometrics, or smart cards.
-
Authentication: The process of validating the claimed identity through various methods like passwords, multi-factor authentication (MFA), or biometric verification.
-
Authorization: Determining the level of access or permissions granted to authenticated users based on their roles, responsibilities, and the principle of least privilege.
-
Accounting (or Auditing): Logging and monitoring user activities to ensure compliance, track changes, and detect any suspicious behavior.
-
User Management: Handling user lifecycle activities, including onboarding, modification of access rights, and offboarding.
-
Single Sign-On (SSO): Allowing users to access multiple systems or applications with a single set of credentials, enhancing user experience and security.
-
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Assigning permissions based on the roles individuals hold within an organization, streamlining access management.
In the context of cybersecurity solutions in Malaysia and India, a robust IAM system is critical for protecting sensitive information and ensuring regulatory compliance. It helps organizations mitigate the risk of data breaches, unauthorized access, and other security threats by efficiently managing user identities and controlling access to resources.
