About this listen

Identity and access management (IAM) is a framework of business processes, policies, and technologies that facilitate the management of digital identities to ensure that users only gain access to data when they have the appropriate credentials. Beyond the physical users, service and system accounts are also in scope for IAM and critical for IAM administrators to manage within their organizations. Inventorying, auditing, and tracking all of these identities and their access is imperative to ensure that proper IAM, including permissions and active status, is executed on a regular basis. Managing the growing complexities of digital identities can be daunting especially with industry’s push toward cloud and hybrid computing environments; however, the need for IAM is more important today than ever. In recent years, we have seen various nation state-led cyber operations successfully access protected data by targeting the trust established within networks or by exploiting vulnerabilities in IAM products and/or IAM implementations

This book in NOT for IAM professionals and will have little use for someone living outside of USA.

It has some value for those considering a career in Information Security, but it is so boring that it may act as a deterrent. This book is not worth your money.

Serious issues

Describing passwordless technology as a memorized PIN is a massive mistake or someone from a sketchy marketing department. Passwordless doesn't include any something-you-know factors.

Also, not sure how you set a best practice about eliminating local accounts like root, which is impossible. You need to always manage any local accounts and shared accounts with a PAM system, along with any privilege personal privileged accounts.

Performance was good except not using the standard ways of saying acronyms.
