The Identity and Access Management (IAM) landscape is evolving—is your security strategy ready? With rapid structural upgrades, decentralization, and virtualization of enterprise technology architecture across all environments in recent years, organizations are experiencing unprecedented change combined with a vast threat environment. Identity security is at the heart of the problem. As organizations evolve and expand, the concept of identity security is no longer tied to a single network or location. These factors make IAM the first line of cybersecurity defense. The ETR Observatory for Identity and Access Management Security focuses on spending intentions, relative product strengths, stickiness, consolidation, and the vendors in this space. Review to discover key trends and which IAM leaders are being driven the most by integration, innovation, and ROI. https://hubs.la/Q037p-3X0
