In the cybersecurity community, the statement that identity is the new security perimeter reflects that data is increasingly stored, accessed and processed online, and that the companies’ own physical data networks to a lesser extent represent a security perimeter for data. Digital security for data and applications online is therefore dependent on robust online identity and access management, which means that identity has become an important security perimeter. In general, identity and access management (IAM) is the security and business discipline which ensures that the right entities can access the right assets at the right time for the right reasons.
