Description: User credential management is the process of managing user credentials to ensure secure authentication. This process involves the creation, storage, retrieval, and deletion of credentials such as passwords, tokens, and digital certificates that allow users to access systems and applications securely. Proper management of these credentials is essential for protecting sensitive information and preventing unauthorized access. In an increasingly complex digital environment, where cyber threats are common, credential management becomes a critical component of any organization’s security strategy. Credential management solutions enable companies to implement security policies, such as multi-factor authentication, and ensure that credentials remain updated and secure. Additionally, these solutions facilitate auditing and regulatory compliance by providing a clear record of who accesses which resources and when. In summary, user credential management is a key pillar in security orchestration, cyber intelligence, Zero Trust security, cloud security posture management, and incident response automation in security contexts.
