Traditional methods for identity and access management (IAM) rely heavily on the use of passwords, which have proven to be eminently unreliable for securing sensitive enterprise applications, data, and other IT services. Many alternative IAM options are complex and expensive, and the inability of most organizations to meet emerging security requirements has placed them at great risk of operational disruption, an inability to meet compliance commitments, and the loss of intellectual property.

To help organizations identify IAM solutions that are both comprehensive and cost-effective, leading industry analyst firm Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), has conducted primary research on current and emerging IAM challenges, requirements, and solutions.  

Join Steve Brasen, research director at EMA, to get key results from this new research. Topics to be covered include:

• Understanding the current risk profile of businesses across industry verticals and horizontals
• The impact of mobility on IAM reliability
• The primary challenges to enabling more comprehensive and secure IAM processes
• Comparing IAM solution that are cloud-hosted with those hosted on-premises
• Reducing the impact of IAM processes on workforce productivity
• Determining which factors in multifactor identification are most effective
• Minimizing the CapEx and OpEx of IAM deployments
• Identifying the most efficient and effective approaches to IAM
