Usually, this comes either from a task grouping or an individual user account.</li>\n<li><strong>Identity Analytics</strong> – They are repositories that capture logging activities for authentication and authorization. </li>\n<li><strong>Managed Policy</strong> - It is a set of rules that an IAM system follows to track which users, organizations, and positions have access to which services.</li>\n<li><strong>Multi-Factor Authentication</strong> - It verifies consumer identities by adding (compulsory or optional) additional layers of security to the authentication process, usually in the form of numeric or alphanumeric codes. </li>\n<li><strong>Principal</strong>: The source that demands permission to access a resource. It can be a human being or an automated system. </li>\n<li><strong>Privileged account management</strong>:  It refers to managing and auditing accounts and data access based on consumers' allowed privileges. </li>\n<li><strong>Risk-Based Authentication</strong> - It is an advanced authentication method that uses real-time intelligence to verify a consumer based on certain risk scores. They usually include factors like login device, consumer identity, geolocation, geo velocity, number of failed login attempts, and more. </li>\n<li><strong>Single Sign-On</strong> - It allows consumers to log in to multiple independent applications with a single set of credentials, eliminating the need for multiple usernames and passwords.</li>\n<li><strong>User Provisioning</strong> – It is the process of creating new enterprise accounts for users and assigning them <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/provisioning/\">access privileges</a>.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2 id=\"how-iam-works\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#how-iam-works\" aria-label=\"how iam works permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>How IAM Works</h2>\n<p><img src=\"/65604ca81b1a159aa26d5f688f5045b3/What-is-IAM-3.webp\" alt=\"What is IAM-3\"></p>\n<p>Identity and access management systems perform three main tasks viz. identification, authentication, and authorization. In other words, IAM functions to provide the right people access to devices, hardware, software applications, or any IT tool to perform a specific task. </p>\n<p>All IAM includes the following core components:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>A database that includes the identities and access rights of users.</li>\n<li>IAM tools to provision, monitor, change and remove access privileges.</li>\n<li>A framework for auditing login and access history.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The list of access rights must be up-to-date all the time with the entry of new users or the change of roles of current users.

It also integrates with one or more other directories and synchronizes with them.</li>\n<li><strong>It provisions/provisions users</strong>: Once a user seeks permission to enter a system, IAM specifies which resource the user has access to and what level of access (like editor or viewer) based on their roles in the organization. On the contrary, when a user leaves the organization, IAM deprovisions from all the systems they have access to. After all, an ex-employee still having access to an organization's resources can have serious security implications. </li>\n<li><strong>It authenticates users</strong>: IAM authenticates users using tools like multi-factor authentication and adaptive authentication when they request access.</li>\n<li><strong>It authorizes users</strong>: After authenticating, IAM authorizes access to specific apps and resources based on predefined provisioning.</li>\n<li><strong>It provides report</strong>: IAM provides reports to help organizations identify possible cybersecurity threats, and strengthen their safety processes under global compliances. </li>\n<li><strong>It offers single sign-on</strong>: IAM allows consumers to access any connected web properties with a single identity. SSO adds security to the process of authentication and makes it even easier and faster to access resources. </li>\n</ul>\n<h2 id=\"designing-a-modern-iam-program-for-your-enterprise\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#designing-a-modern-iam-program-for-your-enterprise\" aria-label=\"designing a modern iam program for your enterprise permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>Designing a Modern IAM Program for Your Enterprise</h2>\n<p>Here are the best practices to enable a smooth and seamless integration of a modern IAM program. </p>\n<h3 id=\"define-your-iam-vision\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#define-your-iam-vision\" aria-label=\"define your iam vision permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>Define your IAM vision</h3>\n<p>Your IAM should be a combination of modern technologies and business processes.

Organizations should securely collect, manage, analyze, and protect their data. However, the method of capturing and safely storing user data can be difficult. </p>\n<p>Many companies keep hundreds of separate data silos to get the job done. Fortunately, an identity and access management solution can help organizations break down these silos and store data into a unified database that provides a consistent view of the client across the business ecosystem. </p>\n<p>Consumers want more control over their data at the same time.

It should be clear and precise. If you cannot explain the process within a minute, then you cannot expect your consumer to follow the whole process.</li>\n<li>If you do not have an internal transition process, you cannot ask your consumer to trust the process to onboard correctly and manage them efficiently. The consumer should know that whatever is discussed and agreed upon during the sales process is documented. The consumer success team has already been briefed and should pick up and start the onboarding process.</li>\n<li>Onboarding involves people, products, and processes. It is more likely that any one of these components will evolve within the year. They might evolve simultaneously or independently. However, the main criteria is they might change if you do not upgrade your onboarding process according to their convenience. It's time you start incorporating these developments according to the changes.</li>\n<li>You need to know the time frame that it takes to onboard your consumer.

Welcome your consumer by offering bonus materials such as additional integration, e-books, which will help them get started. </p>\n<p>Also, you can personalize the welcome message by using the consumer's name or their company. It can act as a lovely gesture and will show users that you value their business. </p>\n<ul>\n<li>Demonstrate the product.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>You can demonstrate key functions and explain to users how they can accomplish a particular task. If you do not highlight your product's purpose, then the user might fail to see the benefit of your product. </p>\n<p>Besides, consumers' success depends on using the product correctly; if they find it difficult, they might be frustrated with your product.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Set specific goals.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>One of the major steps is setting specific goals for active users. Once you send your goals, create logical steps to reach the desired outcome of your product. </p>\n<p>Also, adding a checklist within the app can help your consumers stay on track and motivated.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Offer consumer service.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>You should know that offering <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/customer-experience-solutions/\">exceptional consumer service</a> is imperative for a business to succeed. If your consumer service is good, your consumer will come back to you for more. You can also add a live chat feature or add phone assistance and email assistance to your application. </p>\n<ul>\n<li>Produce quality content.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Add more value to your application by producing quality content that will help consumers solve their problems. When you provide advice that greatly benefits them, you can become your client’s trusted advisor. And with added trust comes the prospect of earning more sales.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Aha! moment.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>This happens when your customer truly appreciates the value of your software. Complex <a href=\"/blog/growth/sign-up-tips-conversion-rate/\">sign-up forms</a> and painful login processes can create a tough barrier between the new user and the ‘Aha Moment.’ </p>\n<p>The main goal of onboarding is to show new users the key features and guide users towards the ‘Aha Moment,’ which is called the moment of delight, where the value of the product becomes instantly clear.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/resource/ciam-101/\"><img src=\"/a767d6e8343518669ff37c6733fb5799/ciam-101.webp\" alt=\"ciam-101\"></a></p>\n<ul>\n<li>In-app messaging and ‘empty states’.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>One of the most powerful tools for engaging users completely is by using the in-app message function. These touchpoints are highly effective when introducing new updates and features or conveying some important information to your users. </p>\n<p>Empty space is how your product or app looks when you first use it before it is filled with useful content. The empty state design should prompt the user to fill content or add sample content illustrating the app’s value, thereby helping the user feel more confident to take the next step.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Set up automated alerts.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If you are looking for people who have not completed the onboarding process, you can use alerts to remind them to finish it. You can also set up automated alerts that will push people to complete it.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Onboard your current users to new features.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The onboarding process is not just for new users but for current users to receive updates and on new features.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Offer multiple channels of communication.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>To increase user interaction and retention, use multiple channels for communication. You can also use outside channels like text messages, live chat, and automated email sequences to aid the onboarding process along with in-app messaging.</p>\n<h2 id=\"how-loginradius-helps-businesses-to-enhance-a-great-user-onboarding-experience\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#how-loginradius-helps-businesses-to-enhance-a-great-user-onboarding-experience\" aria-label=\"how loginradius helps businesses to enhance a great user onboarding experience permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>How LoginRadius Helps Businesses to Enhance a Great User Onboarding Experience</h2>\n<p>Data breaches can cost companies loss of revenue and fines.

Hackers use \"harvesting bots,\" which crawl multiple sites, chat rooms, web forms, etc., in a few seconds to extract a list of email addresses. </p>\n<p>Other techniques include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Posting into UseNet with email addresses.</li>\n<li>Gathering data from white and yellow pages.</li>\n<li>Accessing the same computer used by valid users.</li>\n<li>Accessing emails and address books on another user's computer.</li>\n<li>Spamming through social engineering. </li>\n<li>Buying lists from other spammers.</li>\n<li>Hacking websites.</li>\n<li>Using the method of guessing and cleaning.</li>\n<li>Hacking mailing lists, webpages, web browsers, Internet relay chats, domain contact points, etc. </li>\n</ul>\n<p>These methods allow spammers to gather email addresses and use them to send unsolicited bulk messages to the recipient's inbox. </p>\n<h2 id=\"6-tips-to-secure-your-email-address-on-a-website\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#6-tips-to-secure-your-email-address-on-a-website\" aria-label=\"6 tips to secure your email address on a website permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>6 Tips to Secure Your Email Address on a Website</h2>\n<h3 id=\"1-hide-your-email-address-while-logging-in\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#1-hide-your-email-address-while-logging-in\" aria-label=\"1 hide your email address while logging in permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>1.

It enables the attacker to poison the data in DNS servers, including your company server, by providing false information to your internet traffic and diverting it to fake servers. This is done by redirecting the data in DNS to their IP address. </p>\n<p>DNS cache poisoning utilizes the vulnerabilities in the DNS protocols' security to divert internet traffic away from legitimate servers to the wrong address. </p>\n<p>DNS cache poisoning is effectively used for phishing attacks, often referred to as Pharming, for spreading malware. In the background, the malware runs and connects with the legitimate servers to steal sensitive information.</p>\n<p>When the DNS server is attacked, users may be requested to login into their accounts, and the attacker finds its way to steal the sensitive and financial credentials. </p>\n<p>Moreover, <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/blog/identity/phishing-for-identity/\">phishing attacks</a> also install viruses on the client's computer to exploit the stored data for long term access. </p>\n<h2 id=\"how-does-dns-cache-poisoning-works\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#how-does-dns-cache-poisoning-works\" aria-label=\"how does dns cache poisoning works permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>How Does DNS Cache Poisoning Works</h2>\n<p>DNS spoofing is a threat that copies the legitimate server destinations to divert the domain's traffic.
