The evolution of Identity and Access Management (IAM) has been a fascinating journey, shaped by technological advancements, security challenges, and evolving business needs.
In the early days, IAM wasn't even called IAM, and organizations implemented basic user authentication mechanisms to control access to their systems. As technology advanced and businesses became more reliant on digital systems, the need for more comprehensive IAM solutions became apparent. The development of IAM continued as organizations sought to manage the growing complexity of user identities and access rights across multiple systems and applications.
