It’s Time to Stand Out with Automated IAM Process!

For organizations that are transforming every day, it is crucial to ensure that the right access to data and entities is granted to the right individual. Manual handling of these intensive user management tasks not only becomes complicated, resource-intensive, and time-consuming but also poses a critical threat due to the possibility of human error and user access control mistakes.

According to a Forrester report, the IT decision-makers who rely on manual Identity and Access Management (IAM) processes often fall prey to data breaches than those who secure their organizations with automated processes. Yet today, almost 65% of businesses are struggling around the world due to manual management of access to applications and systems.

Automate What’s Important – Identity and Access

In this continually evolving era of identities and accesses, it is high time that businesses have a robust IAM solution in place – one that offers secure workflows and complete visibility into the access authorization process like who has access to what, why, when, and where.

Making an investment in a robust IAM solution makes so much sense to business leaders and decision-makers if they’re still dealing with manual IAM processes. An automated process not only eliminates human intervention that amounts to almost 90% of data breaches but also enhances the security and productivity many notches higher.
