Identity and Access Management (IAM): Guide for 2026
Imagine a typical company: employees join, they move between offices and departments, then they leave. Each of these changes requires a systems access update for email, databases, internal tools, and more. Manually managing these transitions can be burdensome and error-prone. And where you have errors, you have inefficiencies and exposure to security breaches — neither of which is good for your business.
This is where Identity and Access Management (IAM) comes in.

Leveraging Okta logs for improved security monitoring
Most corporate environments require a login, and Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a solution that helps manage that process in different ways. IAM ensures that only the necessary people can access the relevant IT resources.
Each user, device or service is assigned a unique digital identity. So, when an employee logs into a company system, IAM confirms that person’s identity. This might involve a login/password check, multi-factor authentication, or both.
