In a world where the traditional corporate network perimeter has become obsolete — the identity infrastructure has become the new battleground for bad actors. Identity and access management (IAM) models that rely on legacy approaches to manage identities of users and machines across growing lists of applications and environments have become complex and ill-equipped to adapt to changing needs of business and technological advancements. Security leaders must evolve their IAM toward an identity-first approach that puts identity-based controls at the heart of your organization’s protection architecture to enhance its cybersecurity posture, while delivering digital transformation and business value.
