Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) are set to revolutionize various facets of our lives. This transformation is influencing every role within organizations, especially on established domains like identity and access management (IAM).
By harnessing cutting-edge AI algorithms, IAM systems can detect anomalies in user behavior and identify potential threats before they cause damage. Through sophisticated behavioral analysis, AI constructs a detailed profile of normal activity patterns. Any deviations from these patterns are flagged, prompting additional authentication steps like multifactor or risk-based authentication.
Integrating AI into a continuous verification process maximizes surveillance during and after user authentication. These continuous verification solutions aim to use AI to continuously assess risks and apply security policies both at login and throughout active user sessions. This reduces the risk of unauthorized access and “post-authentication” threats, such as session hijacking, account hacking, among others.
To avoid legal and financial repercussions, businesses must follow security and privacy laws strictly. In IAM, this means limiting access to necessary users, which can be challenging. AI and machine learning can help by continuously monitoring traffic, learning user behaviors, and applying precise access restrictions to enhance compliance.
AI in IAM has transformed business approaches to user experience and engagement, enabling more personalized, secure, and seamless interactions. Adaptive authentication, an AI-driven IAM system, uses machine learning to analyze user behavior and context, assessing risk levels to adjust authentication requirements accordingly.
AI also addresses access issues, such as being blocked from documents or applications due to insufficient rights. It can temporarily grant access based on team roles and suggest ways to request extended access, minimizing disruptions.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to greatly enhance Joiner-Mover-Leaver (JML) processes by analyzing user backgrounds within the same position or department and suggesting appropriate rights and accesses for new arrivals. Moreover, AI can improve mobility processes by recommending rights corresponding to new roles or suggesting modifications to business roles.
Interactive chatbots are increasingly assisting users in tasks like incident creation or document retrieval, but with AI, they could also support cybersecurity and support teams by quickly retrieving relevant information. This could significantly reduce the time spent on information retrieval, allowing teams to focus on more critical tasks and resolve incidents more efficiently.
AI empowers us to enhance the core pillars of IAM — security, compliance, user experience, and efficiency. Vendors are proposing various use cases, some already in development, others planned for the future, and some constrained by technical limitations, remaining as promising ambitions.
It involves using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to handle user identities and manage access permissions to vital resources within a company. Integrating AI-driven identity analytics with existing IAM solutions can notably enhance their effectiveness and value for organizations. AI-powered IAM delivers continuous visibility into user access, real-time insights, and enhanced control and remediation across the enterprise.
