Summary and Conclusion

As security leaders continue to prioritize zero trust strategies, they often struggle with maintaining an effective AM program due to ad hoc and manual processes. The remedy? Assistance from AM solution providers.

An AM solution, effectively implemented, helps ensure the proper balance between managing risk and enabling business needs. While not all AM solutions are created equal, security leaders must start by identifying their organization’s precise needs through data classification, collaborating with stakeholders from varying lines of business, assessing their environment’s technology requirements, defining their risk appetite, and exploring the business and strategic impact of various access management solution capabilities.

Only then can organizations efficiently manage and secure data, applications, and assets within their environment in response to the ever-evolving technology and threat landscape.
