EBOOK

Core’s identity and access management solutions

Identity management has long been a part of enterprise IT, but in traditional on-premise environments—where everything is locked down behind a firewall—its importance often goes unnoticed.

While you can implement identity and access management solutions at any stage of your cloud journey, it’s far better to build them into your strategy from the start. Doing so saves time, avoids headaches, and sets your organisation up for success.

FAQs

What is an identity and access management solution?

Identity and access management solutions are systems designed to make sure the right people have the right access to the right resources — and only when they need it. They help organisations manage digital identities, control permissions, and protect sensitive data by automating how users are created, managed, and removed. 

Why should I choose Core as my IDAM solution?

You should choose Core because we make identity and access management simple, secure, and stress-free. Our Aurora platform automates everything — from creating new user accounts to removing access when someone leaves — so your team spends less time on admin and more time on what really matters. 

What is the difference between IDAM and IAM?

There’s actually no real difference between IDAM and IAM — they both stand for Identity and Access Management. The terms are used interchangeably. Some organisations prefer IDAM because it explicitly highlights both parts — Identity and Access — while IAM has just become the more common shorthand in the industry.
