Identity and Access Management - Powerpoint
- 2. Why IAM? Manages user identities and regulates access. Prevents unauthorized access and insider threats. Essential for compliance and secure cloud usage.
- 3. IAM Challenges Multiple cloud environments complicate identity management. Need for strong password policies and multi-factor authentication. Balancing user access with security.
- 4. IAM Definition IAM = Policies, technologies, and tools to manage user identities and access. Functions: Authentication (who), Authorization (what), Auditing (logs). Key concept in cloud security and compliance frameworks.
- 5. IAM Architecture Includes identity stores (e.g., Active Directory), authentication services, SSO. Supports centralized identity management and federation. Often integrates with cloud-native IAM solutions (e.g., AWS IAM, Azure AD).
- 6. Security Management in the Cloud Includes risk assessment, security controls, incident response. Proactive monitoring, logging, and alerting essential. Tools: AWS GuardDuty, Microsoft Defender for Cloud.
- 7. Security Management Standards NIST: Framework for cybersecurity controls. ISO 27001: Global standard for information security management. GDPR/HIPAA: Legal frameworks for data privacy and protection.
- 8. Availability Management Ensures systems remain operational under various conditions. Achieved through redundancy, failover, auto-scaling. Service Level Agreements (SLAs) define expectations.
- 9. Factors Impacting Availability Natural disasters, DDoS attacks, hardware failures. Human error, software bugs, insufficient capacity planning. Importance of uptime monitoring and disaster recovery planning.
- 10. Access Control Types: 1.RBAC (Role-Based): Access based on job roles. 2.ABAC (Attribute-Based): Uses policies and user attributes. 3.DAC/MAC: Discretionary and mandatory access models. Helps enforce principle of least privilege.
