The purpose of an identity management system is to support access control to an organization’s sensitive systems and protected resources. Contemporary access control has progressed from static entitlements, still used in many organisations. Not only manual interventions are necessary to change roles, also provisioning, reconciliation, recertification and auditing are laborious tasks, which complicate each business process.

The march of the cloud is unstoppable. Eager to outsource the tedious and expensive maintenance of their IT infrastructures to a reliable 3rd party, most companies would dream of becoming cloud-native, at least in the long term. Needless to say, letting someone else run your identity management out there sounds like a great idea as well, hence the rising popularity of Identity-as-a-Service solutions that combine the latest technology achievements with the flexibility of the cloud.

As businesses embrace the Digital Transformation and become increasingly cloud-native, mobile and interconnected, the corporate network perimeter is gradually disappearing, exposing users to malware, ransomware, and other cyber threats. Traditional perimeter security tools no longer provide adequate visibility, threat protection, and scalability, nor can they offer convenience and productivity for users on the go. There is a need for the next-generation enterprise security solutions delivered from the cloud.

The overwhelming majority of organizations now depend upon online services to support their business and this exposes them to cyber security risks. While most have security protection technologies in place few have a plan for how they would respond to a cyber incident. Today, the question is not if your organization will suffer a cyber incident but when - and this makes it essential to have a plan.
