[How we work →](https://www.cybervendorguide.com/methodology) ## Frequently Asked Questions Identity and access management (IAM) is the practice of controlling who can access what resources across an organization. An IAM platform provides centralized authentication (login), authorization (permissions), single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and user lifecycle management (onboarding and offboarding). Modern IAM tools also handle directory sync, device trust, and just-in-time access provisioning. IAM (Identity and Access Management) covers all users and their access to standard applications and resources. PAM (Privileged Access Management) is a specialized subset focused on securing access to sensitive systems like servers, databases, and admin consoles used by IT staff and engineers. Many enterprises use both: IAM for everyday employee access, PAM for privileged sessions with session recording and just-in-time elevation. SSO alone is not enough. SSO centralizes authentication, which means a single compromised password gives an attacker access to everything. MFA adds a second factor (a phone, hardware key, or biometric) so a stolen password isn't sufficient. Industry best practice is SSO plus MFA for every application, with phishing-resistant factors (WebAuthn, FIDO2 hardware keys) for sensitive systems. The main open-source IAM platform is Keycloak, originally developed by Red Hat. It supports SSO, MFA, social login, and federation with LDAP and Active Directory. Other options include Authentik (a more modern developer-focused alternative) and ORY (a modular set of identity primitives). Open source means no license cost, but you're responsible for hosting, upgrades, and high availability. Workforce IAM tools typically range from $2/user/month (basic SSO) to $15/user/month (full suite with MFA, lifecycle management, and advanced features). Okta Workforce starts around $2/user/month for SSO and $6/user/month for the Adaptive SSO bundle. Microsoft Entra ID is included in many Microsoft 365 plans. Self-hosted options like Keycloak have no license cost but require infrastructure. Customer IAM (Auth0) is priced by monthly active users, typically free for small volume. Most major cloud IAM platforms have SOC 2 Type 2, including Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Ping Identity, Auth0, JumpCloud, and OneLogin. FedRAMP authorization is rarer. Okta, Microsoft, and Ping have FedRAMP-certified versions of their platforms for government use. Self-hosted platforms like Keycloak can run in your own FedRAMP-compliant environment but do not come with certifications out of the box.
