Single Sign-Ons

•  IAM helps organizations in addressing the
  problems posed by multiple usernames, passwords
  and login portals by enabling Single Sign-On
  (SSO). Organizations can consolidate the many
  credential repositories built individually for
  each application or system into one single master
  repository, saving the time and effort the users
  need while logging in to multiple applications
  individually. SSO enables users to be more
  productive and efficient without compromising on
  security.

Bring-your-own-device

• Having a modern IAM solution in place is among
  the very first steps in providing your workforce
  with a simple, secure and reliable access to
  corporate systems from any device be it their
  personal laptops or desktops or smartphones. With
  a secure bring-your-own-device policy,
  organizations can reap many benefits it stands to
  offer like better operational agility, improved
  productivity, IT cost savings etc.

Strong authentication

• A critical task of an IAM system is to
  authenticate an identity by confirming that the
  user is who he/she claims to be. A modern IAM
  solution uses MFA which makes use of two or more
  identifying credentials like OTPs or push
  notifications to carry out the authentication
  process, which results in an added layer of
  security on top of conventional passwords.

5
Role-based access control

• A modern IAM solution provides role-based access
  control, which enables organizations to manage
  access to corporate applications and data based
  on the users pre-defined roles within the
  organization. Users shall be provided access to
  only what is needed nothing more or nothing
  less, to perform their duties.  Role-based access
  control reduces administrative burden on IT teams
  while improving operational efficiency and
  ensuring compliance.
