- Most organizations are managing their identities improperly.
- Not pursuing an identity and access management (IAM) strategy will cost your organization more in the end, and leaves it vulnerable to potential attacks.
- Organizations need to understand the options available to them for identity and access management – each organization has a unique path to an IAM strategy.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- There is a lot of value in implementing an IAM solution, from cost-savings to increased security.
- Full IAM solutions may not be for everyone – yet. Staying with SSO or Federated Identity can be enough for your requirements, but you must evolve eventually.
- Be prepared to embrace the Cloud. As more applications are delivered through the Cloud, cloud-based and cloud-aware IAM services take on increased importance.
Impact and Result
- Understand your organization’s priorities in terms of identity and access management: is it user experience over security, or vice versa? Eventually you need to be looking at combining both priorities.
- Maximize your cost-savings and your security by taking advantage of cloud-based IAM services.
