By implementing a business-driven approach to IAM, enterprises can ensure its access-related processes are in full alignment with the business and are both risk-proof and audit-proof.
As a result, enterprises have re-examined their current Identity and Access Management (IAM) processes and have begun to look for new IAM approaches to ensure that their organizations are safe from access-related security breaches, optimize the operational costs associated with access control and meet their internal and external compliance requirements.
Traditional IAM approaches have failed due to their IT-centric approaches that consist of architectures and processes that are fragmented, complex and ill-equipped to deal with the pace and types of changes within an organization.
In the process of evaluating their current IAM processes, many organizations have realized that the traditional IT-centric approaches they have implemented for Identity and Access Management have not only been both costly and ineffective, they have left them vulnerable to security breaches and failed audit reviews.
