INE launches vendor-neutral eIAMA certification for IAM skills
INE launched the Certified Identity & Access Management Associate certification on Aug. 26, 2026, aiming to validate hands-on IAM skills for security and IT workers.
INE said Aug. 26, 2026, that it has launched the Certified Identity & Access Management Associate certification, or eIAMA, a vendor-neutral credential for cybersecurity and IT professionals.
The company said the certification is meant to validate practical skills in implementing, operating, troubleshooting and securing identity and access management controls in enterprise environments. INE said the program was built to help close a skills gap and focuses on hands-on learning rather than product-specific administration.
Identity and access management has become a key layer in cybersecurity as companies expand cloud use, adopt Zero Trust approaches and tighten privileged access controls. The certification also comes as organizations face compliance demands that depend on accurate authentication and access governance.
Tracy Wallace, INE's director of content development, said identity is "the control plane for modern cybersecurity." Wallace said organizations need practitioners who can implement secure authentication, troubleshoot federation issues, manage identity lifecycles and validate access controls in production environments.
INE said eIAMA is intended for IAM administrators, security engineers, systems administrators, SOC analysts, cloud administrators and infrastructure teams. The company said the certification and learning path were available beginning Aug. 26, 2026.
INE said it serves Fortune 500 enterprises, government agencies and IT professionals worldwide. It also directed readers to its eIAMA certification webpage for more information.
