However, rise in data breach incidents and identity theft cases is expanding globally has forced the industry to redefine the growing field of identity management. The foremost importance of Identity and access management in information security is to ensure that legitimate parties have the right access to the right resources at the right time while keeping illegitimate parties out of systems. Company constantly faces the threat consequences of unauthorized access and fraudulent transaction

The legitimate parties who have been granted system access pose the greatest risk because they are often theft targets of hackers i.e. the easiest way for hackers to gain access to a system is to steal existing access. Most of hacking and data breach incidents root cause is phishing emails. Consequences of poor identity management are enormous.  Financial losses, personal business data theft reduced productivity, damaged reputation, non-compliance with regulations.
