Identity Governance: Right People, Right Access, Right Time
Security Boulevard, Friday, May 12,2023
Enterprise companies are increasing spending on software-as-a-service (SaaS) tools to enhance employee productivity and drive digital transformation projects.
In doing so, IT teams are facing new challenges to ensure the right level of access to the right people at the right time. This results in headaches for CIOs and CISOs who want to ensure organizations have the appropriate security posture while balancing other priorities. In fact, this permission sprawl for employees and extended workforce members across cloud and on-premises systems significantly increases the risk of security breaches.
According to Verizon's Data Breach Report, 82% of breaches involved a human factor such as the use of stolen credentials, phishing and misuse, among other errors. Modern identity governance solutions can ensure only the right users have the right level of access to the right systems, all to deliver better security outcomes and ensure companies pass required compliance audits.
