Recent studies indicate that more than 80% of organizations have experienced security breaches related to their CI/CD processes, highlighting the critical need for comprehensive access management strategies.

Identity management acronyms aren’t anyone’s idea of a fun day out, but successfully securing identities requires carefully stitching together each of these acronyms into a comprehensive identity security solution. In this article, we discuss AM, PAM, IGA, ADM – and how a unified identity platform (UIP) can help you tie them all together. Let’s start by defining each of these acronyms.

As organizations have transitioned from legacy IT infrastructure to cloud-native, ephemeral modern infrastructure, the needs of how privileged access is handled have shifted, too. Modern infrastructure presents unique challenges that legacy Privileged Access Management (PAM) tools, originally architected for more static environments, weren’t designed to handle. In this post, we explore why characteristics of modern infrastructure require a modern approach to PAM.

One Identity’s suite of IAM solutions includes Active Roles, an AD (Active Directory) management tool designed to increase the security and efficiency of identity environments by consolidating all AD domains and Entra ID tenants onto a single console This ensures consistent enforcement of security policies through automation, enables identity data to be synchronized across the entire network, and reduces the number of accounts which have been erroneously granted access privileges.
