Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM)

Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) plays a critical role in managing and securing access to digital and physical resources. ICAM supports an organization’s mission by reducing the chances of successful cyber-attacks across the organization’s information systems and facilities. A well-structured ICAM program reduces costs, simplifies user management, secures access to information, and protects resources across organizations. 

Recent ICAM Initiatives include:

  • 2018 Identity and Access Management Forum September 11, 2018
  • ACT-IAC White Paper entitled "Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) Challenges, Best Practices, and Recommendations"

Identity and Access Management

The federal government has a unique role to play in creating a national strategy for identity management to facilitate commerce, enhance mobility and travel security, and to promote privacy and accuracy in information security. Potential benefits include reduced loss from identity theft and fraud, greater ability to share information securely across organizational boundaries and the enhancement of on-line commerce.
