CARY, NC -- With identity the foundation of modern cybersecurity, INE, a provider of technical training and certifications, has launched a new certification for cybersecurity and IT professionals to implement, operate, and secure identity systems in modern enterprise environments.

The Certified Identity & Access Management Associate (eIAMA) certification validates the practical skills required to implement, operate, troubleshoot, and secure identity and access management (IAM) controls.

Identity has evolved beyond user authentication to become a critical security control measure supporting Zero Trust architectures, cloud adoption, privileged access management, and regulatory compliance.

As organizations modernize their identity infrastructure, the demand for professionals who can operationalize IAM technologies has grown significantly.

The eIAMA certification was developed to help close a skills gap through a vendor-neutral, hands-on learning path that emphasizes real-world implementation rather than product-specific administration.

"Identity is no longer just an IT function—it's the control plane for modern cybersecurity," said Tracy Wallace, Director of Content Development at INE. "Organizations need professionals who can do more than explain IAM concepts. They need practitioners who can implement secure authentication, troubleshoot federation issues, manage identity lifecycles, and validate access controls in production environments. eIAMA was built to develop and validate those practical capabilities."

The certification is designed for a broad range of technical professionals, including identity and access management administrators, security engineers, systems administrators, SOC analysts, cloud administrators, and infrastructure teams responsible for implementing and supporting secure access across hybrid environments.

It also supports organizations looking to build shared IAM capability across technical teams as part of broader Zero Trust and cybersecurity workforce development initiatives.
