// identity glossary
The vocabulary of
identity security.
Hundreds of detailed definitions for IAM, PAM, IGA, and cloud identity terms — your reference, built for practitioners.
SCIM
System for Cross-domain Identity Management. An open standard for automating user provisioning and deprovisioning between identity systems.
JIT Access
Just-in-Time Access. Grants privileged permissions only when needed, for a limited time window, reducing the attack surface.
SoD
Segregation of Duties. A control that prevents any single user from having conflicting permissions that could enable fraud or error.
SAML 2.0
Security Assertion Markup Language. XML-based standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data for SSO.
PAM
Privileged Access Management. Tools and processes that secure, control, and monitor access to critical systems by privileged accounts.
PBAC
Policy-Based Access Control. Access decisions made by evaluating attributes and policies rather than static role assignments.
Passkey
FIDO2-based phishing-resistant credential that replaces passwords using device-bound cryptographic key pairs.
CIEM
Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management. Detects and remediates excessive permissions and entitlements in cloud environments.
