Identity & Access Management (IAM) has a pervasive impact on every facet of your organization, extending its reach to encompass a diverse array of entities. These entities may comprise employees, contractors, consultants, customers, consumers, temporary workers, students, healthcare practitioners, faculty, and various other identity types. Additionally, the landscape of IAM encompasses entities like system accounts, service accounts, application accounts, bots, and other non-human identities, all of which necessitate careful consideration and management.

Adding to the complexity, organizations encounter additional hurdles when implementing IAM solutions across multi-tenant cloud environments, navigating the realm of Bring Your Own “X” (such as Device, Identity, or Authentication), managing dispersed geographical workforces that may operate remotely or in satellite locations, and navigating within complex legal or regulatory frameworks.
