MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION (MFA)
MFA requires users to prove their identity using more than one factor of authentication to access accounts. It’s designed to improve account security and prevent fraudulent account access. SMS One-Time-Password (OTP) is the most common second authentication factor, however, it is increasingly being used in combination with other factors.
CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE ENTITLEMENTS MANAGEMENT (CIEM)
Cloud Infrastructure Entitlements Management (CIEM) is focused on managing and securing permissions and access within cloud and multi-cloud environments. As organizations increasingly adopt cloud services, managing permissions and entitlements becomes crucial to ensure security, compliance, and least privilege access. CIEM solutions aim to provide visibility, control, and automation for cloud infrastructure entitlements.
CIEM solution lets you visualize entitlements among your organization's users, nonhuman identities, and cloud resources; analyse the entitlements landscape to expose risk; detect threats; and maintain least-privileged access.
IDENTITY & ACCESS MANAGEMENT (IAM)
IAM enables organizations to ensure only the right people and devices have access to the right applications, resources, and systems at the right time. It encompasses the various policies, services, and technologies that allow organizations to always verify every user’s identity and level of access.
Protecting the digital identities of employees, contractors, consumers, and citizens is key to preventing uncontrolled access, data breaches, and fraudulent transactions.
- A. SINGLE SIGN-ON (SSO):
Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication process that allows a user to access multiple applications or services with a single set of login credentials. Instead of requiring users to remember and enter different usernames and passwords for each application, SSO streamlines the authentication process by enabling users to log in once and gain access to multiple resources.

B. IDENTITY GOVERNANCE AND ADMINISTRATION (IGA)
IGA is a set of processes and technologies designed to manage digital identities, access permissions, and ensure compliance within an organization. IGA solutions integrate identity management and access governance to establish and maintain control over user access to various systems, applications, and data.t:
IGA Identity Lifecycle Management involves managing the entire lifecycle of user identities within an organization. This includes onboarding, changes in roles or responsibilities, and offboarding when employees leave.
PRIVILEGED ACCESS MANAGEMENT (PAM)
PAM is a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy comprising people, processes, and technology to control, monitor, secure and audit all human and non-human privileged identities and activities across an enterprise IT environment.
Privileged accounts typically have elevated permissions and access to critical systems, making them valuable targets for cyber attackers. PAM controls who can use these accounts to perform critical tasks, such as installing software, making changes to system settings, or accessing sensitive data. It aims to mitigate the risks associated with unauthorized access to privileged accounts/identities and helps organizations enforce the principle of least privilege.
- Consent Management: Streamline consent and preference management and provide transparency and choice to individuals across all touchpoints and devices.

Privacy Management
o Gain an accurate picture of the personal data held and processed by your organization and vendors
o Automate resource-intensive privacy management workflows to protect sensitive data
o Implement privacy incident prevention and prepare for incident response.
ZERO TRUST NETWORK ACCESS (ZTNA)
The Identity Security Fabric often aligns with the Zero Trust security model, which assumes that no user or system should be trusted by default, even if they are inside the corporate network.
The need to secure a remote workforce has become critical, network-centric solutions such as virtual private networks (VPNs) and firewalls create an attack surface that can be exploited. The applications are hidden from discovery, and access is restricted via a trust broker to a set of named entities. The broker verifies the identity, context and policy adherence of the specified participants before allowing access and prohibits lateral movement elsewhere in the network. This removes application assets from public visibility and significantly reduces the surface area for attack.
NETWORK ACCESS CONTROL (NAC)
NAC is a security solution that helps organizations control and manage access to their networks. The primary goal of NAC is to ensure that only authorized and compliant devices gain access to network resources. NAC solutions are designed to enforce security policies, assess the security posture of devices attempting to connect to the network, and remediate any issues that may pose a risk.
NAC solutions support network visibility and access management through policy enforcement on devices and users of corporate networks.
