Protecting identity starts with knowing your identity ecosphere.
As Gartner reported in its recent survey, “Gaining Security Visibility and Insights,” just 9 percent of organizations surveyed felt that they had complete visibility into their identity data, with a full third revealing that they had only a basic understanding. Clearly, that’s not enough in our threat-filled era, because you can’t remediate risk you don’t know about.
Addressing the challenge of identity protection means gaining a deep knowledge of all your foundational identity systems, so you can pinpoint and resolve risk before costly incidents occur. It means uncovering and remediating current risk—and continuing to protect and strengthen your identity ecosystem as it evolves.
The challenge with many traditional IAM solutions?
Untangling your organization’s web of identity and permissions can be a major challenge. And often the need is immediate, such as when regulators, auditors, or third parties want full answers and fast action. Despite this urgency, many identity solutions require difficult, time-consuming implementations that can slow results—and extend time to value. While risk reduction requires thorough discovery, swift remediation, and constant protection, many solutions only provide partial solutions. Their high cost can be prohibitive, making ROI harder to achieve.
Now there’s a better way to reduce identity risk.
Identity Hygiene is a proven, end-to-end approach combines discovery, remediation, and ongoing protection that detects risk, establishes ownership, and corrects and maintains your identity ecosphere. Combining sophisticated capabilities with much-needed agility, Identity Hygiene enables you to move quickly to respond to security incidents, requests from regulators/auditors, or other immediate needs. And it keeps your entire estate clean and protected on an ongoing basis.
That’s just part of the story of how Identity Hygiene can reduce the risk of disastrous identity-based security breaches. Find out why some of the world’s most heavily regulated organizations are putting Identity Hygiene at the core of their risk reduction-strategy. And why industry experts are embracing Identity Hygiene as a concept whose time has come.
