What are your Identity and Access Management challenges?
Digital transformation creates extreme opportunity and risk.
In an economy driven by information, data is always every organization’s most critical asset. Cyber criminals almost always start an attack by compromising credentials. From there, they move to other levels of privileged access escalation until they reach their goal – data.
Data today is:
- Created at an unprecedented volume and velocity
- Resides in more places across dynamic, distributed and hybrid infrastructures
- Accessed by more people, in more ways, and on more devices than ever before
With this exponential data growth and digital transformation, we are seeing a shift toward Identity and Data Management (IDM) from Identity and Access Management (IAM). While IAM is critical to an overall security strategy, IDM is gaining attention with concerns related to increased cloud adoption and the rapid growth of unstructured data and the lack of data classification and ownership.
IDM also drives a strategic view of the challenge. Many organizations have invested heavily in IAM tools, but too often these initiatives are technology- or problem-centric, leading to a piecemeal set of “solutions” that can create chaos in the operations center.
An integrated strategy can leverage existing investments in migrating your organization to a more strategic IDM footing.
