Gal Helemski, co-founder and CTO of Cyber Insiders, explains that the number of access rules that must be managed across digital platforms is growing at an unprecedented pace. To respond to these pressing issues, enterprise security teams are shifting their focus to identity and access management (IAM) technologies, which are used to regulate who has access to what information and how it is used.
In particular, security teams are looking to IAM to manage access across the expanding and complex enterprise security perimeters. One of the major advantages of IAM is its ability to provide more advanced levels of access control with authorisation reemerging as a crucial component. In addition, IAM can help to consolidate and standardise access, reducing the danger of compromised credentials providing unauthorised access.
In order to remain secure and agile, companies need to adopt a standardised, consolidated approach to access and authorisation. By doing so, organisations can create a win-win situation where effective security and bottom-line success go hand in hand.
