Identity and access governance for the cloud enterprise

Identity and access governance for the cloud enterprise

Security professionals, identity managers, and IT operations teams are under growing pressure to make fast decisions based on a nonstop flow of alerts, reports, and initiatives to both enable and protect the business. According to a recent cloud security report, 59% of surveyed IT professionals say they receive more than 500 public cloud security alerts per day; 38% receive more than 1,000 daily. Not only that, almost half say more than 40% of their alerts are false positives. This, combined with a persistent shortfall of skilled resources, is certainly not a tenable situation. 

Organisations are increasingly turning to AI and ML to address these challenges. However, this is not meant to replace valuable and scarce expertise. Instead, it aims to augment it by using algorithms as a ‘force multiplier’ to support overtaxed security analysts, identity management professionals, and incident responders who all need to sort through an increasing amount of information to do their jobs.
