IAM (Identity and Access Management) is a framework that enables organizations to manage and control access to their resources and data. It involves defining and enforcing policies, roles, and permissions to ensure that only authorized individuals or systems can access sensitive information.

Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) are companies that offer cloud computing services, including infrastructure, platform, and software as a service. These providers enable businesses to access computing resources on-demand, without having to invest in expensive hardware and software.
