Overview

Factor’s recent survey of 379 Australian technology decision makers, revealed that Australian business leaders are juggling a range of objectives including increasing productivity/efficiency (81% of respondents), managing risk and cyber security (80%) and improving customer experience (78%) which is an increasingly important objective as business jostle to win customer loyalty and longevity.

These results underscore how security has moved from being primarily a technical issue in years past to become a central and key objective for the whole business – ahead of traditional objectives like making sales/budget targets and cost optimisation. Your IT and security teams today must do more with less – while facing innovation pressures and rising security demands. Automating Identity processes at scale is crucial to keep up.

• Integrating IAM into your Zero Trust journey

• How a unified Identity strategy can help your organisation achieve key compliance, risk management, and cybersecurity outcomes

• Customise on/offboarding: provision new employees or temporary users

• Automate operational tasks and maintenance

• Protect against security breaches: consolidate security information and automate responses
