What is Identity Management?
Definition:
Identity Management (IDM), also known as Identity and Access Management (IAM), is a framework of policies, processes, and technologies that facilitates the management of digital identities. The primary goal of IDM is to ensure that only authorized individuals or systems have access to specific resources or information within an organization's IT infrastructure. It involves the creation, maintenance, and termination of user identities and their associated access rights.
IDM should provide security to the organization's users and manage the user Life Cycle Management.

What is Access Management?
Definition:
Access Management, also known as Access Control, is a security discipline within Identity and Access Management (IAM) that focuses on controlling access to resources and information. Access management ensures that only authorized users or systems have the appropriate permissions to access specific data, applications, or systems. It involves authentication, authorization, and policies to govern access based on the principle of least privilege.
IDM should provide security to the applications and manage the applications using SSO and GSO.

What is Privileged Access Management?
Definition:
Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a cybersecurity framework that focuses on managing and securing the access rights of privileged users within an organization. Privileged users typically include system administrators, IT staff, and other individuals with elevated access privileges, often referred to as "privileged accounts" or "privileged credentials." These users have access to critical systems, sensitive data, and configurations that, if misused, could lead to security breaches or data compromises.
PAM should provide security to the private accounts and manage the accounts and sessions using PAM.

What is Endpoint Privileged Access Management?
Definition:
Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) is a security approach that focuses on managing and controlling the elevated privileges assigned to users, applications, or processes on endpoint devices within an organization's IT environment. The goal of endpoint privilege management is to enhance security by restricting and monitoring the usage of privileged rights on individual endpoints, such as workstations, servers, and other computing devices.
EPM should provide security to the least-privileged accounts through its policies with respective operating system endpoints like Windows, Mac, and Linux.

What is the LDAP Directory?
Definition:
LDAP, which stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, is a standardized protocol used for accessing and managing distributed directory information services over an IP network. The LDAP directory is a hierarchical data store that follows a tree-like structure, often referred to as the Directory Information Tree (DIT). It is commonly used to store and organize information about users, devices, applications, and other objects within an organization's IT infrastructure.
