Thales Identity & Access Management (IAM) is a comprehensive portfolio of identity and access solutions designed to help organizations secure digital identities and ensure that the right users have access to the right resources at the right time and for the right reasons. Thales combines customer and workforce identity capabilities with strong authentication, single sign-on, adaptive access control, identity verification and authorization to protect applications, data and digital services across cloud, hybrid and on-premises environments.

Thales IAM solutions support a wide range of identities, including customers, employees, partners, suppliers and gig workers. The portfolio enables organizations to secure digital interactions while providing users with convenient and flexible authentication experiences across applications, devices and environments.

Key Features

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Thales provides multiple authentication methods and authenticators, including OTP, PKI, FIDO and hardware or software-based authenticators. Organizations can select authentication methods based on their security requirements, user type and risk level.

Insider Threat Deterrence

Discourage intentional or accidental data leaks by making every screen visibly traceable. Personalized watermarks reinforce user accountability and reduce the likelihood of sensitive information being photographed or shared.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Thales enables users to securely access multiple cloud and web applications through a single identity, reducing password fatigue while allowing organizations to centrally manage authentication and access policies.

Adaptive & Risk-Based Authentication

Authentication policies can adapt to users, applications and contextual risk, enabling organizations to apply stronger authentication when additional assurance is required.

Passwordless Authentication

Thales supports modern passwordless authentication approaches, including FIDO2 passkeys and other strong authentication technologies designed to reduce dependence on passwords.

Identity Verification

Identity verification capabilities help organizations establish and validate digital identities during onboarding and access journeys, particularly for customer-facing and regulated digital services.

Identity Orchestration

OneWelcome Identity Platform provides identity journey orchestration capabilities that allow organizations to design and manage digital identity journeys such as onboarding, login and self-service using prebuilt flows, identity sources and connectors.

Fine-Grained Authorization

Thales supports granular authorization capabilities to help organizations control what authenticated users are allowed to access and what actions they can perform.

Extensive Integrations

Thales IAM integrates with cloud and web applications through standard technologies such as SAML and OIDC, as well as a broad catalog of prebuilt integrations.
