Identity Management Lifecycle

Managing identities in the cloud is crucial.....

Think of it as a key to your home. You need to ensure that only the right people have access. This journey begins with Provisioning, where users are granted access based on their roles. Next comes Authentication, verifying who they are, much like showing an ID at the door. Then we have Authorization, determining what they can do inside, similar to having different keys for different rooms. Self-Services empower users to manage their own credentials, akin to changing your locks when you lose a key. Password Management ensures these keys are strong and secure, preventing unauthorized entry. Governance oversees compliance and policies, ensuring everyone plays by the rules. Finally, Deprovisioning is like reclaiming keys when someone leaves, safeguarding your space from potential threats.
