Abstract

Over the last few decades, organisations have adhered to a number of security practices that are showing their age. With the explosion of remote work and software as a service (SaaS) adoption, this has become more pronounced. In pursuit of greater operational maturity, initiatives such as Zero Trust have placed these practices under scrutiny and the evidence suggests they are wanting. The rise of new technologies like adaptive authentication, enterprise federation and next-gen IAM offers new options and techniques — options that were once considered hypothetical. Among those worthy of consideration are an automation-first approach to identity and access management (IAM). In organisations where Zero Trust initiatives are being scoped, intelligent IAM can play a foundational role. Notwithstanding, IAM deployments should be regarded as multi-phase projects accompanied by unique obstacles that stakeholders would do well to avoid.
