Enhancing Incident Detection and Response through Zero Trust Implementation in Identity and Access Management Systems

Shanmugavelan Ramakrishnan ^[6]

Abstract: This paper critically examines the adoption of Zero Trust architecture within Identity and Access Management (IAM) frameworks, focusing on its impact on incident detection and response. As cyber threats evolve, traditional perimeter - based security models fall short. Zero Trust, with its principle of "never trust, always verify, " offers a strategic shift in managing security, fundamentally altering access control mechanisms. Through qualitative research, including case studies and interviews with cybersecurity professionals, this study explores the advantages and challenges of Zero Trust implementation in IAM. It reveals that Zero Trust IAM significantly enhances organizational security and supports dynamic threat management, providing valuable contributions to the ongoing conversation on cybersecurity strategies.

Keywords: Zero Trust Architecture, Identity and Access Management, Cyber Threat Resilience, Incident Detection, Proactive Threat Management, Security Framework Enhancement.
