The need for secure data access management is top-of-mind in the C-suite and boardroom.

This is the only way to comply with evolving data privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. According to Gartner, "As remote work increases access management tool adoption, and security controls shift to identity, the ability to secure access with AM strategies aligned with continuous adaptive risk and trust assessment is paramount."

In this environment, you must create a comprehensive, manageable way to authenticate and authorize every attempt to access data - based on a fine-grained access principle - while still providing users with the secure self-service access they need.

Security and trust - The secure access management environment must authenticate and authorize every employee, customer, contractor or partner each time they access data - based on modern security protocols, zero trust, and MFA - with fine-grained access controls.

User productivity - The solution must support SSO across siloed environments, such as multiple clouds, so each user needs to have only a single login ID and password to verify who they are and their access rights across every application and data source.

Centralized management - The entire AM environment should be visible from a single pane of glass with access to analytics regarding data access and usage.
