What is Identity Lifecycle Management in cyber security?

Manages the stages of a digital identity from creation to deletion.

Identity Lifecycle Management (ILM) refers to the process of managing the stages of a digital identity from creation through modification, usage, and eventual deletion or deactivation. It includes provisioning and de-provisioning user accounts, updating user attributes, and managing access permissions throughout an identity's lifecycle. Proper ILM ensures that identities have the right level of access at all times, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and ensuring compliance with organizational policies.
