An incomplete identity management strategy has a serious impact on the success of digital transformation, as well as increasing cyber risk exposure.

Identity data plays a fundamental role in this, and achieving impactful results is all but impossible without effective identity management.

A cyber-attack can escalate identity issues into an identity crisis in a matter of hours.

Getting digital identity under control requires a single, unified source for all identity data regardless of origination, a concept known as Identity Data Fabric.

Firms need a single pane of visibility for all identities to highlight redundancies, ghost accounts, and profiles with unnecessarily high privileges.

Removing identity management as a bottleneck to digital transformation also speeds up digital transformation and project ROI. Further, the firm's risk exposure is significantly reduced as thousands of potential attack paths are closed off.
