Description: User data privacy in identity and access management refers to the protection of personal and sensitive information from unauthorized access and misuse. This concept encompasses various practices and technologies that ensure that only authorized individuals or systems can access specific data. Identity management involves the creation, maintenance, and deletion of digital identities, while access refers to the controls that regulate who can view or modify that data. Data privacy is crucial in a world where information is shared and stored across multiple platforms, and its violation can lead to severe consequences, such as identity theft or loss of consumer trust. Key features include user authentication, access authorization, and activity auditing. The relevance of this topic has grown exponentially with the rise of data protection regulations, such as GDPR in Europe, which require organizations to implement adequate measures to safeguard users’ personal information.
