What type of software does the IAM approve?

The correct answer is low risk software because IAM (Identity and Access Management) systems are designed to manage user access and identities within an organization securely. When it comes to approving software, a priority is placed on ensuring that the software does not pose significant security threats or vulnerabilities. Low risk software typically has undergone thorough vetting and possesses adequate security measures, making it suitable for IAM approval.

This is critical because high risk and medium risk software could potentially expose the organization to data breaches, unauthorized access, or compliance issues. While it might be possible for organizations to approve higher-risk software under certain controlled conditions, the general best practice for IAM is to prioritize low risk software to ensure the integrity and security of user data and access controls. Also, the option of approving all software types is not feasible due to the varying levels of risk associated with different applications, which could jeopardize the overall security posture of the organization.
