Identity and access management (IAM) is best when silent — working so in sync with the day-to-day operations of the business that users don’t even realize it’s there. While other approaches to IAM can force security in front of the user, silent security works quietly in the background, providing the right levels of access to the right users as your business transforms.The extensive IBM IAM portfolio includes authentication, privileged access management, identity governance and access management solutions. Grant access rights, provide single sign-on from any device, enhance security with multi-factor authentication, enable user lifecycle management, protect privileged accounts, and more.
