IAM stands for what?

  1. Internet Access Management

  2. Identity and Authorization Management

  3. Identity and Access Management

  4. Information Assurance Model

The correct answer is: Identity and Access Management

IAM stands for Identity and Access Management. This term refers to the processes and technologies used to identify, authenticate, and authorize individuals to access computer systems and networks. Option A, Internet Access Management, is incorrect because IAM specifically deals with user access to an organization's network and systems, not general internet access. Option B, Identity and Authorization Management, is incorrect because it does not include the crucial aspect of access, which is the main focus of IAM. Option D, Information Assurance Model, is incorrect because IAM is not a model, but rather a set of practices and technologies used in managing user access. Therefore, C is the only correct and relevant option.
