ICAM Capabilities and Vision

Welcome to our Industry Working Day briefing on the Army Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) initiative. ICAM is the cornerstone of our Zero Trust security strategy, providing a comprehensive framework to ensure secure and appropriate access to Army resources. Our team will walk you through the core components of our mission and the future of identity, credential and access management at the Army.

Core ICAM Capabilities

ICAM delivers a suite of services that form the foundation of the Army's modern unified ICAM.
