Abstract:

Identity and Access Management (IAM) system aimed at enhancing security, streamlining authentication processes, enforcing access controls, and monitoring user activities effectively. The system incorporates various security measures, including biometric identification, Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) authentication, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and User Behavior Analytics (UBA), to address key security challenges and fortify the organization’s security posture. Biometric identification provides a highly secure and reliable method for authenticating users, leveraging unique physiological traits such as fingerprints or facial features. CHAP authentication introduces cryptographic mechanisms to verify user identities and prevent unauthorized access. RBAC facilitates granular access control, while UBA enhances threat detection capabilities and supports compliance efforts. Integrating these security measures has yielded tangible benefits, including improved authentication integrity, reduced risk of unauthorized access, enhanced threat detection, and better compliance adherence. By adopting a multi-layered approach to security and leveraging advanced technologies, the IAM system provides organizations with the tools to safeguard sensitive data and resources effectively. Ongoing investment in IAM technologies and practices will be crucial to adapting to evolving security threats and maintaining a secure IT environment. This aims to layer security principles so that data is safeguarded from threat actors and protected from data breaches, prevent insider threats from occurring, and implement security to a network and organization.
