To ensure success, it’s critical that security and risk management leaders with responsibility for IAM manage these changes through a well-governed IAM program.

Key findings

• Organizations often fail to recognize the foundational role that IAM plays in delivering business value. Stakeholders are often not involved in setting priorities or making purchase decisions, and lack the understanding for how IAM can contribute to their goals and strategies. Identity conversations with senior leaders can be difficult, as IAM is complex and not easily understood outside of IT or security teams.
• Without clear ownership and accountability across the enterprise, security or IT is often seen as owning the risk associated with the lack of IAM controls.
• The workload of the IAM team is often not clear and expectations not adequately set resulting in frequent escalations and frustrated users.
• The scope and importance of IAM has continued to grow. In addition to managing employee identities, customer and business partner identities are increasing the scope and adding complexity. The focus on identity has intensified, as it is now a critical attack surface for bad actors.
