Last week, CISA released the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation Program: Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) Reference Architecture to help federal civilian departments and agencies integrate their identity and access management (IDAM) capabilities into their ICAM architectures. This publication provides:

• a description of the federal ICAM practice area, including how ICAM services and components implement ICAM use cases,
• a description of related CDM capabilities,
• an introduction to federation services, and
• a high-level notional physical implementation.

In addition, it explores zero trust architecture and illustrates how ICAM and CDM help enable it. Read more at CISA.
