In today's digital landscape, organizations face increasing challenges safeguarding their sensitive data and resources from unauthorized access. Challenges include:

• Rapid increase of identities that need to be protected.
• Accelerated growth of apps, on and off the corporate network, requiring secure access.
• Hybrid work requires a seamless, flexible experience while keeping access secure.
• Identity attacks are on the rise.
• Evolving regulations with data privacy and security implications.

Effective Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions are critical to address these challenges and ensure security, regulatory compliance and operational efficiency.
