Enterprise cybersecurity leaders face a number of challenges when it comes to authentication and identity & access management (IAM) in their network environments.
A survey from Axiad and conducted by Censuswide asked 252 U.S. security and IT executives in organizations of 2,500 or more employees across a broad variety of industry sectors to identify which IAM and authentication issues affected their organizations. Respondents pointed to several internal challenges that prevent them from addressing authentication in a systematic fashion across the organization, including the variety of identity types to protect; numerous authentication methods used internally; varied operating systems in use; and existing investments in identity and access management that are often not interoperable.
