What you may not see is the temptation companies have with holding onto existing access management systems while wanting to innovate to the next level of access control.
I’ll discuss Identity & Access Governance via a quick journey of trends I have seen in enterprises attempting to control access to their networks. I will cover:
- The Identity Account Posture – the new posture in identity access fueled by increases in threats and changes in the workplace dynamics. More access requests to data - not always from your corporate network - through many more devices.
- The Disappearing Perimeter – There are so many more software-as-a-service offerings today each with their own login credentials that need management, as well as huge increases on mobile device access to corporate resources and cloud data storage.

- Finally, I will walk through what I have identified as the 7 Tenets of Identity & Access Governance.
