Cyber security is evolving all the time, as cyber criminals develop new tools, while security professionals develop new strategies to deal with them. One aspect of cyber security that doesn’t change, however, is how vital it is to ensure the identity of users accessing your network. Identity and Access Management (IAM) has emerged as one of the best ways to strengthen your cyber defences. By outsourcing their needs and opting for a managed IAM, businesses could reap the benefits.

What is IAM?

Despite the simple-sounding name, IAM is about more than ensuring people have the right usernames and passwords. It focuses on ensuring authorised access to an organisation’s network and assets, by carefully managing user identities and authorisation processes. With IAM, businesses can enforce their own authentication policies and safeguard their systems. IAM solutions typically include user provisioning, authentication mechanisms, role-based access controls, and monitoring. Not only does IAM protect organisations’ assets, but it ensures they meet with regulations and compliance requirements – according to the Identity Theft Resource Center’s findings, 83% of organisations admitted IAM plays a key role in their compliance strategies.

Why Choose IAM?

With cyber threats becoming increasingly sophisticated, robust IAM solutions are needed to protect networks against the threat of hackers and data breaches. The cost of a data breach is rising steadily, and last year the average cost of a breach was estimated to be $4.45 million. Despite the dangers of these kinds of cyber incidents, many businesses are still choosing to take the chance and not use IAM. Last year, the National Cyber Security Centre’s Cyber security breaches survey 2023 revealed the number of small businesses who said cyber security was a top priority had fallen to 68%.

Despite the benefits of IAM, implementing it in your business can be both time-consuming and expensive. For these businesses, however, there’s a solution.
