Identity and Access Management (IdAM/IAM)
and
Privileged Access Management (PAM)

The Assurance that Users are who they say they are, and an ability to control what they can do

What is IdAM/IAM?

Swiss Cheese Security

There is a concept in risk analysis known as the Swiss cheese model, based on those such as Emmental which is famous for its holes. When considering each layer of defence around a system there may be flaws, or holes, in each layer, but if the holes do not all line up then there is no direct path through the layers and the whole defence has no hole.
