No matter how a user engages with an application, the initial phase in the access management process is authentication, which allows the user to accurately verify their identity. As such, a fundamental feature of contemporary access management solutions is their ability to accommodate a wide variety of authentication methods and, crucially, to effectively manage the timing of each method's use when verifying a user. Following successful authentication, the next vital function is to oversee and safeguard the user’s session. This function not only enhances the user experience by providing seamless access across various applications with single sign-on capabilities but also ensures robust protection against session hijacking. Furthermore, as users seek access to different applications, the access management system must be equipped to conduct authorization evaluations to ascertain whether the user should be allowed entry. In essence, modern access management technologies are designed to deliver these essential functionalities while maintaining a high level of security. Ultimately, the effectiveness of these technologies plays a pivotal role in securing user interactions across diverse platforms.
