Identity Access Management (IAM) has emerged as a pivotal element in our digital ecosystem, bridging the gap between security and accessibility in an increasingly interconnected world. From organizational security to national identity systems, IAM frameworks have transformed how individuals interact with digital services while ensuring data protection. The evolution of IAM encompasses various dimensions, including market growth, technological advancement, societal impact, and ethical considerations. By examining implementations like India's Aadhaar system, the role of IAM extends beyond traditional security measures to facilitate financial inclusion, healthcare access, and government service delivery. The integration of emerging technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and behavioral biometrics is reshaping the future of identity management, promising enhanced security with improved user experience.
