What process involves identifying risks associated with IAM processes?

• A. Risk Assessment
• B. Monitoring
• C. Disk Quota Allocation
• D. Password Change Requests

Answer: (A)

Risk assessment is the process of identifying risks associated with IAM processes. It involves systematically spotting potential threats to authentication, authorization, provisioning and de-provisioning, access reviews, and privileged access; assessing vulnerabilities in IAM controls; estimating the likelihood and potential impact of these risks; and prioritizing which risks to address. This sets the stage for deciding which mitigations to implement. Monitoring, by contrast, focuses on continuously observing controls and events to detect issues, not the initial identification of risks. Disk quota allocation and password change requests are unrelated to identifying IAM risks.
