Identity & Access Management

The right user, the right resource, the right time.

One identity layer across on-prem, cloud and hybrid — directory sync, SSO, MFA and risk-based decisions from a single control plane.

What is IAM?

Identity & Access Management

Who they are, what they may touch.

Identity and Access Management is the discipline of knowing, at all times, three things: who your users are, what each of them is allowed to touch, and whether the person at the keyboard right now is really that user.

  • Users live in a directoryNot in a spreadsheet and not in a manager's memory. One record per person, synced from Active Directory, LDAP, Azure AD, Google Workspace or O365 — or held in InstaSafe's own directory if you have none.
  • Access is granted to roles, not to peopleGroups and roles carry the entitlements; individuals inherit them. Your AD group structure becomes your access model instead of being re-typed into a second one.
  • Authentication is layeredSomething you know, something you have, something you are — password, phone or hardware key, fingerprint or face. Which layers apply is set per group through 8 auth profiles.
  • And when someone leaves, one action removes everythingDisable the identity once. Portal, applications, tunnels and OS logins close together, because none of them kept a private copy of the user.

A login page is not access control. What it opens is.

User lists go stale. Quietly, and in every direction.

Two user lists, one truth

The directory says someone left. The VPN, the jump box and three SaaS tenants have not heard. Every extra copy of the user list is a door nobody is watching.

Passwords doing a job they cannot do

A valid credential from a new country on an unmanaged laptop looks exactly like a valid credential. Without device and context in the decision, authentication is a single point of failure.

Access nobody can prove

The audit does not ask whether you have IAM. It asks who could reach the finance system last March, and what proved it was them. That answer has to exist before it is asked for.

Directory services

Bring the accounts you already have.

Sync users and groups from the directory you already run — or let InstaSafe be the directory if you have none. Three provider types can coexist, and group structure carries into policy, so the AD groups you already maintain become your access model.

How directory sync works

Or none of them — InstaSafe's own directory runs the same policy.

One identity source.

Seven ways in.

InstaSafe issues identity as well as consuming it.
That is how one account reaches modern SaaS, the equipment in the rack and the systems nobody has touched in a decade — from a single source. It can equally sit behind an identity provider you already run, as the service provider.

watch it decide_

One person. Four contexts. Four answers.

Same user, same entitlements, same password. Only the context around the login changes — and the verdict changes with it. IP, geolocation, device and time are policy conditions, so a login at three in the morning from a country this user has never worked from can demand a harder factor or be refused outright, without anyone reviewing it by hand. That is what risk-based authentication means in practice, and why a credential on its own stops being a key.

Known device, corporate network, business hours. Nothing to challenge — the friction is invisible.

Identity that reaches past the browser

A browser-based identity provider stops at the browser. InstaSafe enforces the same identity at the operating system — Windows logon, remote desktop, SSH and virtual desktops all ask the same policy engine, and get the same kind of answer back.

Reporting

Every login, on the record.

Login activity, authentication summaries and device login reports — 11 report types, exportable, SIEM ready. Inactive users are warned, suspended or removed on schedule, so the gaps a joiner-mover-leaver process leaves open close on their own.

Every login, request and block streams to one live feed — and straight to your SIEM. When a user trips repeated failures, InstaSafe spots the pattern and locks the account before it becomes a breach.

IAM outcomes

One record.Every doorit opens.

Sources converge on a single identity, and the estate follows it — including the parts of the estate a browser never touches.

One source of identity truth

Your directory drives everything. There is no second user list left to drift out of date.

Offboarding in one action

Disable the user once — portal, apps, tunnels and OS logins all close together.

Authentication that matches risk

Admins get hard factors, low-risk roles get low friction, and anomalies get challenged automatically.
