Overview

The Identity and Access Management (IAM) landscape includes a range of domains such as Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM). Other layers include Conditional Access, Lifecycle Management, and Identity Governance (IGA). Security-critical areas like PAM, Secrets Management, Cloud Directories, and MDM are also integral components.

Integration Architecture

Direct API Integration

REST API connectivity with OAuth/SAML authentication

SCIM-Based Provisioning

Use SCIM for user provisioning & deprovisioning.

Event-Driven Integration

Triggers actions based on IAM events.

Advanced IAM Use Cases Metron Enables

SIEM + IAM Integration

SOAR + IAM Integration

CNAPP + IAM Integration

SIEM + IAM Integration

Objective: To enhance enterprise security by integrating the IAM system with SIEM platforms, which would enable continuous monitoring of identity-related activities, detection of anomalous behavior, and generation of alerts for unauthorized access attempts, supporting faster and more informed incident response
