Episode 23 — Compare IAM Frameworks and Tools Without Losing the Lifecycle View

This episode compares identity and access management frameworks and supporting tools while keeping attention on the full lifecycle from onboarding to review and removal. For certification purposes, it is easy to become distracted by product features or terminology, but the exam is more likely to reward an understanding of how governance, provisioning, authentication, authorization, review, and deprovisioning work together as one control system. Examples involving directory services, identity providers, approval engines, access review platforms, and privileged access tooling will help you distinguish capabilities without losing sight of the larger objective, which is to manage identity consistently, enforce accountability, and keep access aligned with real business need over time.
