What is IAM?

In simple human terms, IAM (Identity and Access Management) is like having a digital bouncer for your online accounts and computer systems. It’s a system that helps make sure that only the right people get access to the right places in the digital world.

Imagine you have a super-secure club, and IAM is the system that checks everyone’s ID at the door. It decides who gets in and what areas they’re allowed to go to. If you’re part of the club (have the right ID or credentials), you can access certain things, like exclusive parties or special rooms. IAM is like the guardian that keeps things safe and organized in the digital space, making sure only authorized folks get in.
