Description: Identity Risk Management is a critical process in information security that focuses on identifying and mitigating risks associated with user identities within an organization. This approach is based on the premise that identities are a key access point for attackers, and their proper management is essential to protect digital assets. In the context of Zero Trust and identity and access management, this practice involves implementing stringent controls that ensure only authorized users have access to necessary resources. This includes multi-factor authentication, continuous monitoring of user activities, and real-time risk assessment. Identity Risk Management not only aims to prevent unauthorized access but also focuses on detecting anomalous behaviors that could indicate identity compromise. In an increasingly digitized business environment, where cyber threats are more sophisticated, effective identity risk management becomes an essential component of any organization’s security strategy, ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive information.
