IAM Lifecycle: Provisioning, Deprovisioning, Permissions, and Identity Proofing (4.5)

This episode introduces identity and access management lifecycle activities from initial account creation through role changes and account removal. Provisioning creates access based on verified need, identity proofing helps confirm that a person is who they claim to be, permissions define what the identity can do, and deprovisioning removes access when it is no longer required. Students should understand that stale accounts, excessive permissions, delayed removal, and weak identity proofing can create serious security risk. For Security+ scenarios, IAM lifecycle controls support least privilege, separation of duties, access reviews, onboarding, offboarding, auditability, and rapid response when users leave, change roles, or lose authorization.
