👉 Identity engineering is a critical process within identity and access management (IAM) that focuses on defining, managing, and securing the identities of users, devices, and services within an organization. It involves creating, maintaining, and controlling digital identities to ensure that the right individuals or entities have appropriate access to resources while preventing unauthorized access. This process encompasses identity creation, authentication, authorization, and lifecycle management, including provisioning, deprovisioning, and attribute-based access control. Identity engineering aims to enhance security, streamline user experiences, and comply with regulatory requirements by ensuring that identity data is accurate, up-to-date, and protected against breaches.
