The COVID-19 pandemic has affected every segment of society, including individuals and businesses. The internet ecosystem has been playing a pivotal role all over the globe.

The role of IAM in IoT is expanding like never before. IAM is focused on identifying people and managing access to different data types (like sensitive data, non-sensitive data, or device data). IAM helps in identifying devices while also managing user access to data, thus safeguarding against breaches and malicious activities. IoT introduces the need to manage exponentially more identities than what the existing IAM systems are required to support. IAM in IoT offers multiple benefits to provide a secure environment for users, such as how a user will manage access to all the connected things and the information they hold and how they will control which people or devices are allowed to do what. Therefore, IAM solutions help global SMEs and large enterprises provide consistent, frictionless, and enhanced user experience; these benefits will drive the growth of the global IAM market.
