Digital transformation brings several challenges on how identity and access management (IAM) is handled. People expect seamless experiences when dealing with a digital business. Digital business use several systems, each having different identities. But users still expect to use the entire system using the same identity. In addition, with the widespread adaptation of social networks, users expect to access these systems using their social identities.
The more systems you integrate with using a single identity, the weaker your security becomes, making the demand for multi-factor authentication and authorization higher. This shows that IAM is not an option but a necessity when digitally transforming your business. In this session, we will discuss the concerns of IAM that we have had to deal with when preparing for digital transformation, and why they are important considerations.
