Identity Security

Identity and access management (IAM) is a framework of business processes, policies, and technologies that facilitate the management of digital identities to ensure that users only gain access to data when they have the appropriate credentials.

Maintaining secrets, credentials, and machine identities in secure ways is an important, though often overlooked, aspect of secure software development. DevOps security often addresses vulnerabilities, but it neglects broader discussions like authentication, authorization, and access control, potentially leaving the door open for breaches. That's where an identity security strategy integrated in your code, infrastructure, and environments from day one can help.

Identity and Access Management has never been so important. From securing the workforce and improving employee productivity, to supporting online transactions, payments and media, IAM is foundational. There are more identities than ever before under management, a larger variety of identity types from consumers to workloads, smart devices to contractors - all accessing an ever increasing range of integrated systems, APIs and pieces of data. This sprawling IAM landscape is also under attack - from external adversaries, regulators, malicious insiders and even budget holders - wanting more from...

Somewhere right now, a coffee shop is running its rewards app on a server it doesn't own, in a building it has never seen, managed by people it will never meet.

Most explanations of Azure are written by people who already understand it, for people who already understand it. They pack their sentences with ...
