IAM typically refers to authorization and authentication capabilities like: - [Single sign-on (SSO)]() so you can give users the ability to sign on once and with a single set of credentials to gain access to multiple services and resources - [Multi-factor authentication (MFA)]() so you can gain a greater level of assurance of a user’s identity by requiring the user to provide two or more factors as proof of identity [Access management]() so you can make sure only the right people gain access to the right resources [View article]() [Two Insiders Look at the Future of the Identity Industry]() Posted: Tuesday, July 13, 2021 At the Hello User podcast, we've established a reputation for speaking with folks outside of the identity industry whose notions of personal identity are formed in part because they're big identities themselves—people like actor and former NFL linebacker Terry Crews and Mick Ebeling, the founder of problem-solving innovator Not Impossible Labs.
