Identity and access management

Identity and Access Management (IAM) has become a cornerstone of modern cybersecurity, enabling organizations to securely manage digital identities and control access to critical resources across enterprise, cloud, mobile, and hybrid environments. As organizations increasingly adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI), cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, and zero-trust architectures, traditional identity management approaches are evolving to address sophisticated cyber threats, dynamic user behaviors, and complex access requirements. AI-powered IAM solutions are transforming authentication, authorization, identity governance, behavioral analytics, and threat detection by enabling intelligent, risk-adaptive, and context-aware access control while enhancing security and user experience.

The International Conference on Cyber Security in Artificial Intelligence (ICCSAI 2027) invites original research contributions on Identity and Access Management (IAM). This track aims to provide an international forum for researchers, cybersecurity professionals, AI experts, industry practitioners, and policymakers to discuss innovative approaches for securing digital identities, managing privileged access, preventing identity-based attacks, and implementing intelligent access control mechanisms. Contributions addressing identity governance, AI-driven authentication, decentralized identity, privacy-preserving identity management, cloud IAM, zero-trust identity frameworks, regulatory compliance, and real-world applications are particularly encouraged.
